For what it's worth, I didn't think that was edgy. Sometimes it's a good idea to think about worse case scenarios

It's legit the focus of where I work :c (gestures broadly to everything)

To build an interstate underground tunnel for evacuating lgbt?

This feels like 1998 on IRC. I'm shaking my head and laughing at the same time.

I think you're taking "underground railroad" a little bit literally. The commenter seems to be claiming they work in politics and that their job has recently involved putting together some materials to work around some newly introduced (or proposed) spiteful laws targeting a specific group of the population.

I mean on the internet anyone can anonymously claim they're anything, but what this person in particular is claiming doesn't sound out of the realm of possibilities at all.

Indeed, I think the poster was referring to a metaphorical railroad. The term comes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_Railroad
