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.

@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*
