‘Stay and die to make a point’ is way less convincing when it’s your life on the line. Anyone who shames someone (especially a targeted minority) for fleeing a fascist state is frankly unhinged and needs to touch grass. Especially in the case of the US, where simply not living in the country doesn’t negate your right to cast a ballot.

You can stay on the sinking ship if you want. This public has made it very clear that they are listless and will not fight back.

You do not need to be physically present in the US to vote, and there is absolutely nothing morally “impure” about keeping yourself safe.
