that feeling of despair and unsafety rings a bell. when Bolsonaro won here in Brazil, his victory speech promised to hunt down and exterminate leftists like me. it was scary. we went through 4 bad years, but the tide turned.

you don't have a Lula or a strong Workers' Party in the US, or anything I'd recognize as left-wing politics, which probably makes things much scarier, but the whole (Western?) world seems to be turning to fascism. my advice is to cool down before making such a momentous decision, and to consider that running away from fascism is always a risk proposition, because it often runs faster. staying where you have roots and strong connections, and organizing to turn things over has some inherent risk, no doubt, but it's probably the best overall course of action for the long run, unless there's imminent risk, in which case escaping to be able to fight another day seems more desirable. I hope we're not there yet, despite the many risks. there aren't many other planets to escape to.
