He's a trealterite petit boug entertainer, he'll never leave.
I don't understand the narrative that fleeing the US is the correct thing to do. Is it not more brave to stay your home country in rise of fascism? Shouldn't you stay to oppose the rise of fascism?
I don't blame people who want to leave out of fear of their own safety, but it seems more brave to stay.

I edited this comment from saying "cowardly to leave" to "brave to stay". People seem upset by the word coward. I want the comment to express the sentiment that I feel it is brave to stay in your country of citizenship despite worsening conditions, to provide support and solidarity with people that don't have the ability to leave. Do whatever you want.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.
he can still fund it outside the U.S.
