Some of those thinking about fleeing remember the jews who survived by leaving Europe. If I was in a marginal group & could leave, I'd think really hard about it.

I understand what you are saying. I have a couple of things that make it challenging for me. I am disabled, and I hate that word; I like to say differently abled, but I am ambulatory, and while it is physically related, I worked hard to make it out of the wheelchair, walk again, and go through surgery here and there! So, it's difficult for me to think about resisting, as in our marching, fighting, and other things. I hope I don't have to do that. And I am single and don't have a bodyguard on standby. My cat doesn't seem up to the task! Okay, so I slipped a joke in. I've got to laugh to keep from crying. I could be targeted as a member of another group, but I don't have a tattoo on my forehead and not sure how that would work anyway. So, moving away crosses my mind, but who am I kidding? I have good days (mostly), but when I have bad physical pain days and walk a bit like a crab several paces, then no, it's probably too complicated. I will have to figure out ways to offer support. I guess I could be handy with first aid, cooking, feeding, sheltering, and things like that. Now I sound like it's going to be a war zone.
Take heart in knowing that Trump is already surrounding himself and filling administrative positions with extremists, dullards, and egomaniacs. And one good sign is that John Thune rather than Elon's preferred Rick Scott was elected Senate Leader. Thune's conservative but he's not nuts. Rubio is raw ambition and will distance himself from the minefield that's shaping up.
We can do small things like infiltrating X and conservative sites where we can make comments and then run without engaging with the snarlers and droolers. We can write actual letters to our reps. We can find ways to use fear that will be legit and not manufactured as the magas have done because 2025 is a threat to us all.
It is already a war zone, and having been in several, the war is going to escalate in intensity soon. Prepare. Find your allies now. Know who is around you and know where they stand.

Everyone is only asked to do what they are able to do
Educating yourself by reading TCinLA is a form of resistance to trumpism. All the best, Kathy.

Kathy, we may see a war zone.
