Me when Jews fled Germany. Me when people flee South America. Me when people flee war torn countries. If people (who didn’t vote for this) can leave, I hope they do. It hasn’t been our country in a long time. Individuals deserve the liberties guaranteed to them by the constitution and if they can no longer find that here and are able to find it elsewhere, they should. There is not enough will here to change things. Throwing yourself at the wall of fascism is a great way to die needlessly. No one should be obligated to die because of the failings of the government they happen to live under. If we had the numbers and could do something, maybe I’d understand your perspective, but we don’t have the numbers, and we live in a surveillance state the likes of which history does not have an analogue for. Our government has cameras everywhere and is able to track our every conversation. People here believe this is the will of god. There’s no quick fix for that and I don’t think people that will be actively hunted down in the meantime have any obligation to stay.
