Disclaimer: when I say things like "I'm not actually sure 'Nazi' and 'fascist' are the right terms for Trump's admin," I say it in the same sense that a zoologist might say "technically, that's not a crocodile, that's an alligator."
I maintain there are important genetic/historic differences between 21st-c. racist kleptocracy and 20th-c. industrial militarism. However, for the purposes of someone who doesn't want to get eaten, they are similar enough that you should get running.

@mmsword @Ratttz EXACTLY. Thank you. God, it's like our side of the political spectrum has been stuck in the part of a House episode where everybody runs around screaming "IT'S LUPUS" because that's the only diagnosis they know. >_< There are other dangerous political diseases out there, and treating Trump like he's the Berlin 1933 strain is NOT going to help us cure it.

@Phorm That part of the metaphor isn't really meant to carry over. *blush* And to be perfectly honest, I only didn't say "blast it with a shotgun" (also not literally recommended) because it wouldn't fit. :)
I am not an advocate of fleeing the country--not with a "dictator" who has a 40% approval rating. Let's see how the midterms go, at the very least. FWIW, I've never seen single leftist who threatened to leave under Dubya proceed to move a muscle. And they lived. *shrug*

@zebratron2084 Fair point.
Follow up question: Running to where?
