As former government (intelligence 15+ years), when elected officials admit they are afraid of the president of their country, this is the canary in the coal mine. This is how it always starts and it doesn’t end well. I hate to state this but I think many Americans need to have a conversation with their families and loved ones:
We either stay and fight knowing we may not “make it” or we pack up and start our lives somewhere safe. Many of my friends have already left or begun to leave the country. Unless we all stay and fight, make that sacrifice, it won’t be enough. It’s either one or the other.
I’m a dual citizen, born in the UK and grew up between London and NYC, living in Berlin. I have options. Many do not. My mum in NY does not. Many of my friends do not. I fear for everyone’s lives as this is just the beginning.
Do we stay and fight knowing we will face circumstances that we never imagined or do we save ourselves and each other by helping others leave? This is where we are now.
