There's a lot I didn't know about the process. It'd be interesting to get the view of US members of this community.

then I suggest they fight for freedom rather than bailing like cowards

    No effort is so futile than to fight a battle that’s already been lost. If you need to believe there’s a light at the end of the tunnel then fight on pal. And commit your children and children’s children to fighting the battle too.

    I got out. Now I live and enjoy rather than fight.

    History teaches us that at risk minorities probably should have an exit strategy when a country is on the path to totalitarianism.

    Under the current circumstances nobody from the USA really qualifies for refugee status.

    There are millions of people in more desperate circumstances with a far greater need who can't go home and vote in the "worlds greatest democracy" and achieve non-violent change. Just vote you stupid arseholes. You have power. Use it or lose it.
