What's he going to do? Fund a anti-fascist militant labour group? He's shown no interest in doing so, so I don't see him actually fighting the fascists in the streets. At best he'd be a good propaganda tool and that's it, because that's what he's good at right now. He's too comfortable doing what he's doing, so I don't see him fleeing.
As you mention, he is a good propaganda tool. He also gave material support to the anti-Israel student encampments at UCLA and interviewed students from the encampment. He gives a media platform to many anti-Zionist voices that the mainstream media refuses to hear. Later today, Hasan is interviewing a surgeon who worked in Gaza. Like 2 weeks ago, he helped raise a large amount of funding for Drop Site News which directly interviews the leaders of Hamas to give Hamas leadership a voice in mainstream media.
You recognize that he's a good propaganda tool, so let him be that. Everyone always asks "Why doesn't X person do more?". Those same people never ask "Why don't I do more?". If you want there to be an anti-fascist labor group, why isn't that a goal that you are working towards?
he can still fund it outside the U.S.
