  This, exactly this. No one will fight for us. If I stand and fight, I will quickly die and everyone will say “oh how sad, well, onto our next story” and no one will want to discuss it because they “don’t like talking about politics.” I’m tired of asking the american people to step in. They won’t. We’re considered acceptable casualties and I won’t walk willingly into that fate.
context: The problem is the main people who would need to get out the most are also the people who are least likely to have the means to do so. >
  
  If I manage to get out because of my priveleged circumstances (job with international locations), you’d best believe I will turn right around and do everything in my power to help other people escape. I will find an organization, or I will fucking found one myself. I don’t know about the rest of the world but I won’t forget that I’m lucky to even have the option and I’ll use my privelege to help others. >
  
  Shouldn't be leaving. People are willing to just give up their homes and not fight is a huge issue. Thats what they want. You want freedom? The price is your life. No one every got anything by running away. 
  Conceding the country to fascists will have global implications we have never witnessed before. You thought the Nazis were bad. Holy shit if the Nazis had the military that the US has now they would have taken over the world >
  
  It'd help if people would take heed our cries of danger and attempts to organize instead of just calling us "dramatic" and ignoring the encroaching forces because they aren't directly influenced by these actions. I have tried for years attempting to call alarm to this stuff in my personal life and all it seems to have done is distance me from people who just want to ignore politics where they can and live their lives.  
  It's exhausting and demoralizing when the best efforts you can muster is a single person picket that people call you "crazy" for doing and trying to warn others that there's fascists trying to do fascist shit in this country.
