Defending yourself is a natural right for sure. Not really sure how close our viewpoints are, but I would gather we are more alike than different.
I think getting away from the US is reasonable if that is what you choose to do. God knows I have wanted to leave it many times in my lifetime!
The battle for the human mind will continue as always. The best defense is critical thought.
As far as everyone else? Well, the world has gotten a lot better for a lot of people. Billions more have access to fresh water and electricity. War is down and so is crime across the board in all countries.
Things aren't that bad and perhaps that is what ideologically many people can't handle. There is no doubt the US is the biggest and most powerful fascist nation ever. It is not a new thing either.
Knowing this can help inform your decisions and save yourself from being confused why your country does what it does. I will join you in hoping for the best. Strange times indeed.
