And the left takes over all three branches and does many of the things feared...

- eliminate the filibuster
- allow illegal immigrants to vote
- add more judges to the SC

If they basically change the rules of the game so that they never lose again, would you leave the country? And if so, what options are out there that are friendly to a capitalist/democratic way of life?

If the left wins, they will play for keeps. They will hold nothing back

If this Country is converted to what you list then where are you gonna go> The globalist will have won and every country is part of it. The only place that could afford everyone comfort is Mars but I think the democrats have their eye there to.

I've considered moving abroad but that would be for job or relationship reasons, not related to politics.

this is the one for me that would be the end. No turning back from burning them down at that point

I'd imagine there would be quite a lot of affluent people renouncing citizenship. Basically, taking their ball on going home.

I can see that happening but they have to be aware that the tax man is going to eat them alive before their expatriation.

Eliminating the SENATE filibuster to allow legislation to move forward if there is constant blockage of bills as in 2009-2010 has been talked about and may happen if reforms passed by the House constantly get filibustered by a GOP minority in the Senate.

Allowing non-citizens to vote will never happen. Period. Making paths to citizenship easier might be a real change to make.

Packing the Supreme Court has been suggested. Maybe a Democratic president of the Bernie Sanders school might push for such a thing, but a traditionalist like Biden would never do so. (Oddly it is within the Constitution to change the number of justices on the Supreme Court, but it hasn't been done for something like 170 years and I doubt it will be in a first term by Joe Biden. There are just too many other issues to deal with.

The problem is that conservatives don't exactly have a better nation to move to.

Liberals talk all the time about emigrating to Canada, Europe, etc. (although often displaying utter ignorance as to how difficult it actually is to emigrate there - there are strict immigration requirements) - but at least they know there are many nations more liberal than the USA.

What nation is more conservative than the USA? I can't think of many, or any. Where would a conservative go?

A lot of people are still in denial, but:

1. Vote by mail/absentee ballot fraud is going to be absolutely out of control in the election.

2. Biden and Kamala are going to win.

3. They are going to do amnesty and SCOTUS packing, and there will simply never be another Republican POTUS.

4. All conservative news/commentary will be classified as hate speech and purged from the Internet.

This. Every post here on T-D claiming that "Trump is going to win in a landslide," is in utter denial. People who say that are sticking their head in the sand. 2020 isn't 2016.

There will be fraud on a large scale this November, and Biden will win emphatically.

Not just conservatives, but moderates as well. I am not sure where there is to go. I mean there are lots of options if you're rich, but for the average American, I don't know right now. I could see where if the shite does hit the fan and there is a lot of demand to leave then a poorer country could make it friendly for US citizens to ex-patriate and gentrify. Just depends of how bleak it looks in the next few years.

I, and a lot of others would probably be put in concentration camps before we have the opportunity to leave.

Make no mistake, if the radical left gets all 3 branches of federal government there will be mass incarceration and execution of those not in lockstep with their beliefs.

Don’t believe it, look at 20th century history.

Maybe, but I don't think that will turn out quite like they think it will.

If the republicans win, they will “cross the aisle” to show everyone how big cowards they are

Isn’t that cute?
They should be the first ones we tar and feather when we decide enough is enough
