“Taken together, these appointments suggest an attempt to make our government dysfunctional, to make it fall apart, to pervert it, until it’s not capable of doing anything at all.” They’re not just unqualified but “anti-qualified.”

As someone who left for other (family) reasons, this is right. The fascist movement is transnational. No place is safe.
Few thoughts for people who continually talk about leaving the country.
1. Not everyone has that option or the resources and that’s not their fault.
2. In terms of solidarity it communicates you won’t be an ally if things get bad.
3. This is a worldwide movement. You can’t escape it.

Sadly I think the only thing that could cause trump voters to change their minds about him is if they personally suffer as a result of what his administration does. The sad part is that everyone will suffer.
