Norway Says "No Thanks."

“Of course people from #Norway would love to move to a country where people are far more likely to be shot, live in poverty, get no healthcare because they’re poor, get no paid parental leave or subsidized daycare and see fewer women in political power. #Shithole”

Fact: in Norway, "Texas" is colloquial for "batshit crazy."

I guess I feel a perverse sort of pride ...?

[Astreja]

Uff da!

Jeg er rett ved siden av USA, men jeg vil helst flytte til Norge. Min mors foreldre var både norske, så jeg kunne kanskje innvandre der.

I'm right next to the United States, but I'd rather move to Norway. My mother's parents were both Norwegian, so I could possibly immigrate there.

You've got it backwards. You should be villifying Norway for the immigration policy that they were employing for decades. It's basically the form of immigration that Trump is asking for. No poor brown folks was the rule of thumb until somewhat recently. Turns out, if you keep out all the poors, you have a bunch of extra money for your own citizens.

I thought Norwegians came here for the sexual tourism . . . . . .

I use it that way, too.

Not all of Texas is bat shit crazy. Houston and Austin are sane, but stuck in a sea of crazy.

Texas is a lot more purple than people think.

That doesn't mean it's not batshit crazy.

I think I just said virtually the same thing.

You are right, it is turning purple and is not as red as it used to be. But it is still GOP majority controlled and that makes that state bat shit crazy. But it still has it's islands of sanity.
