We should probably listen to this guy:
Yale professor who studies fascism fleeing US to work in Canada
A Yale professor who studies fascism is leaving the US to work at a Canadian university because of the current US political climate, which he worries is putting the US at risk of becoming a “fascist dictatorship”.
Jason Stanley, who wrote the 2018 book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, has accepted a position at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.
Stanley told the Daily Nous, a philosophy profession website, that he made the decision “to raise my kids in a country that is not tilting towards a fascist dictatorship”.
He said in an interview that Columbia University’s recent actions moved him to accept the offer. Last Friday, Columbia gave in to the Trump administration by agreeing to a series of demands in order to restore $400m in federal funding. These changes include crackdowns on protests, increased security power and “internal reviews” of some academic programs, like the Middle Eastern studies department.
“When I saw Columbia completely capitulate, and I saw this vocabulary of, well, we’re going to work behind the scenes because we’re not going to get targeted – that whole way of thinking pre-supposes that some universities will get targeted, and you don’t want to be one of those universities, and that’s just a losing strategy,” he said.
Stanley added: “You’ve got to just band together and say an attack on one university is an attack on all universities. And maybe you lose that fight, but you’re certainly going to lose this one if you give up before you fight.Comment

I’m glad he thinks he’s safe from it in Canada.

This is ridiculous but it illustrates that the real objective of maga with immigration is removing all foreigners one at a time, however they can get away with.
This is a medical researcher at Harvard who had her visa revoked and was sent back to France where she went on a work trip to obtain some frog embryos she and the professor she works under needed for medical research. She failed to disclose what she was bringing in the proper manner so they revoked her visa. Absurd. Whatever excuse to remove anyone not a citizen. And the more cruel and disruptive the better.
Oh yes, the political crime here, if there is one is she is Russian but one who has protested the Russian invasion and war in Ukraine.

That's a quick conclusion. I think Yale pays their faculty pretty well.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

Mitt Romney has talked about moving overseas because of Trump's bullshit and fear he could target him and his family. So it's not like this expert on fascism is the only person with these worries.
Trump is doing scary things and will do more.
Look at BlueK's post above yours, I don't think this academic is being histrionic.Comment

What is extra concerning about this is the likelihood of coordination between our LEO and Russian agencies to suppress and punish dissent.Originally posted by BlueK View Post

Mitt is comfortably ensconced in house in Holladay. He's not going anywhere unless they call him to be an MP or Trump offers him an ambassadorship somewhere cool.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostComment

Trump asking Romney to be an ambassador is a science fiction plot point at this juncture.

Is it ok to acknowledge things are getting scary right now instead going right after someone who is sounding the alarm?
