Bad goes to worse, I do have the option of getting citizenship in the Dominican Republic via my parents.

It's not exactly an upgrade, but I'll take it over being stuck state-side.

My friend of Jewish descent recently listened to some audio recordings of his grandparents before they fled Germany.

They basically describe similar situations and feeling quite similarly to how he feels today. His wife doesn't like him talking about it, but he's sincere: he feels the need to flee.

I don't blame him one bit.

EDIT: To be clear, his desire to flee has very little to do with his Jewish lineage and more to do with how scary and dangerous the Trump cult is. Him being of Jewish descent is just like a cherry on top for MAGAs who want to abuse others. A bonus.
