I wish all of you the best, but I can't care enough about this country to want to fight for it. One reason being it's a shitty place that put George Takei in a camp, among many myriad other crimes. I don't want to save it. I want to leave and not be bothered by the bunch of racists, idiots, and racist idiots who run this country and who elect them.

And the people of color you leave behind. You don't want to save them from what's coming when you resign control of your country to the racist idiots that want them dead?

History never speaks kindly of the people who turned a blind eye to atrocities for a reason. Those people could have helped, and they chose not to. They let others suffer and die because it was more convenient than doing the right thing.
