But why?! The USA is a paradise for women! Isn't that what Margaret Atwood taught us!?

Personally, I consider it a civic duty to help fix the country instead of abandoning it. If all the good people leave, things are gonna get way worse, and it's gonna start leaking all over the planet.

    Unless you can alter laws about corporations, lobbying, and billionaires, the USA is going to be changed by good people staying there. The power of the people is now a facade, you'll get arrested for domestic terrorism charges or something

    I will agree with that statement 100%

    however, there's a caveat where if someone's personal safety and life are at risk by the state, there's absolutely no shame in fleeing.

    also the "stay and fix your country" is usually a racist dogwhistle. I am assuming you don't mean it like that. just bringing it up

    Is "stay and fix your country" a racist dog whistle? I wouldn't imagine racists would really consider leaving in the first place.

    I believe he meant the racism was in saying that to people to be anti immigration. As in: we don't want people from mexico coming to america! Stay and fix your own country!

    If everyone was like that, wed have little ability to immigrate anywhere

    it's used against immigrants or refugees. "they should stay there and fix their problems"

    True, true. It was "want" to leave though.
