I want to leave but I have no idea where to go or how to make it work. For now, I think sticking it out in a blue state is a compromise.

inb4 Trump starts deploying military against peaceful protestors. He's already cleaning house in the military, he wanted to do exactly that in 2020, and he's talked about his desire for generals that do whatever he says without question, like "Hitler's generals" (his words).

I'm continually shocked by the Trump apologists on this forum. We can debate right vs left all we want (and there's a ton I hate about both Democrats and progressives), but embracing an authoritarian like Trump makes no sense to me.
