Like using a throwaway account to accuse someone of cowardice.

And Congress is full of cowards afraid to offend their god-king.

It might be wiser to emigrate if you cannot trust your fellow citizens and neighbours to care about your country becoming fascist. If you've got brown skin, then you'd be better off leaving on your own terms rather than being exported to a concentration camp in El Salvador.

You mean the guy with the federal dismantlement and looting agency that sends credentials to federal IT systems to Russia, openly talks about a third term where people "wouldn't have to vote anymore", crashes the world economy based on some dubious theory about the US dollar being overvalued being the root of crumbling US power and is currently testing the waters to deport US citizens into an overseas prison nobody ever leaves after ignoring a supreme court order for doing the same to a legal resident (the most legal residents, since they targeted those going through the proper naturalization route) is business as usual?

Are you for real?

As bad as W was (and I started considering leaving after the 2000 election, but I was a minor) it didn’t seem likely that there would no longer be reasonably fair, even if flawed (with minorities disenfranchised), elections. I am no longer confident there will be a fair election, even in the midterms. And even W respected when the courts forced respect for habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees.

There is nothing routine about what is going on right now.
