    If more of you cowards can run away that would be great. Make room for those that will fight, but please dont come back when we the people rip it all down.

      smart people leave and fight another day, dumb ones stay and become either fodder, or become “Slaughtered by the regime”. especially people in the sciences will improve other sectors in other countries that USA will never have again. the only ones that fight, is if they get trapped and unable to move abroad. i know you’re a troll like on reddit, but this how its always been, look at ww2 poland, germany,etc.

        And you’re implying the people proudly turning their backs on the U.S. are going to do something to help the citizens of the U.S.?

        Seems like twisted logic, to me.

          Yes. I understand the desire for more bodies, but the world isn’t black and white, and not everyone is able to fight.

          To elaborate on my own situation, my demographics make me and my community VERY vulnerable to this administration. While the desire to help each other is there, resources are slim and everyone is struggling to sort out their own survival. A lot of the community is also disabled and reliant on others.

          Now that I’m out of that, I actually have the capacity to offer support. I’m still very connected to everyone I know and love back home, but now I have the backing of a new community that is very understanding of the situation and able to offer resources. I personally can offer travel advice, a place to crash temporarily, and a safe landing to anyone who decides to follow suit. We also have established safe houses along the way. Since we made the decision to leave, my partner and I have received nothing but love and support from both communities.

          Not everyone is a Fighter or a Paladin. Some are better at offering support from a distance.

            What I mean is that, with any individual — you start with what you can control. Whatever that sphere of influence might be, your immediate surroundings make up a large part of what you’re actually capable of influencing.

            You can’t fight a fire from 3000 miles away. I get that we’re not all capable of running into a burning building, but you’re severely overestimating (and underestimating, oddly enough — but in different directions) an individual’s ability to affect real change.

            Idk, that’s certainly an optimistic view of a very bad thing happening.

            It isn’t going to be just MAGA suffering, and if everyone with a brain leaves — there’s no telling what kind of system will fill the void. I think it’s unrealistic to assume these people will course correct on their own simply because bad things have happened to them.
