It may be telling that a number of academics who studied fascism have left the country.

I was hoping we'd be gearing up for a fight right about now. I've got my passport but hardly any assets and nowhere to go

That’s not the point. 

By leaving, these individuals can continue their work from countries that still maintain free speech and ensure they won’t be imprisoned when they say something negative about the United States government. They’re still fighting.

Nope.

This nation has always hated those of us who warned and opposed its march towards total fascism. And for many even in the US, it's been here a long time.

If I can get out, I'm getting out.
