You don't know anything about me. I never said I was going to run. But I'm sure as hell not going to blame someone for running away from this shit, especially if they're in a vulnerable group.

You clearly don't understand the stakes and what we're dealing with if you think genocide and mass murder aren't on the table for this administration. Read about the damn books they endorse and parade around, they're very open about their violent fantasies. You can start with "Unhumans", which was endorsed by Vance and whose author just toured Europe as an official guest of the Trump administration.

especially if they’re in a vulnerable group

The original comment was about people with desirable skillsets leaving for other countries. If you mean people in vulnerable groups with those skills able to leave, absolutely. Agreed. But that is a very slim amount of people who are looking to do this. Vulnerable groups have a much more difficult time emigrating in general, and they certainly make up a far lower percentage than those of cis white people running for the door.

don’t understand the stakes

More strawmen but OK, you also know nothing about me. But I really don’t want to argue with someone I likely agree with far more than I don’t. Thanks for the book rec, I’ll check it out.
