here on DU and other places sounding the alarm. People from vulnerable groups need to really consider an alternative plan to living in the US. We are only about 5 months into this horror and we have US citizens being grabbed off the street and the US military deployed against us. They have already labeled and identified the people they think are "other" and placed "blame" on them for budget deficits and they are moving to make massive cuts that will result in severe harm to many in those groups.

They already have identified and enacted words that cannot be spoken, things that cannot be said and books that are not allowed. They have already enacted restrictions on the medicines and procedures to keep you well. They have already attacked unions and enacted restrictions to weaken them.

They have already attacked our relationships with our strongest allies and alienated them. They have already gone after and enacted damage to regulations regarding health, safety and the environment. They have already openly defied court orders. They have already neutered the Legislative branch of government. They have already gone after specific academics and students. They have already banned anyone from a large number of countries from being able to travel here. They have already attacked and are carrying out an ongoing war against our institutions of higher learning.

This is all after about 5 months. What does a rational person think is coming down the road from irrational, racist fascists?
