He should never run and hide that is what trump wants. We can’t give in to him and his evil regime if we all do then they win. Just like they will try something when we keep protesting and keep speaking out but I be damn if I stop doing any of that and I don’t have the protection or just to up and move. But I will not stop none of us should run and hide from these bastards.

A while ago before anyone heard of Meidas, . I came upon it and started watching. A basic premise is everything they present is backed up by tangible evidence. We see it. At a time months and months ago when did not believe ANYTHING from news networks….. Meidas was there. Thankyou to everyone involved in this effort to save our DEMOCRACY! God bless

When the Nazi's would overun European countries, the leadership took refuge in England.The King of our independent nation Canada is coming to open parliment. This is a statement that Canada is not for sale and WILL NEVER BE THE 51ST STATE...EVER!!!!!!

That should give freedom fighters in the south strength fo fight the Trumpian nazi regime with EVERTHING the have.

Tim Snyder did not move because of Donald Trump. It worked out that way for other personal reasons. Scaring our biggest voices/defense out of the country is not what we should be doing. We don’t run. We fight. It’s the only way to win.

That is in part true for Timothy Snyder, though the security of a professorship abroad in no way minimized his deep abiding fears of what he's seen for the future.

Of course Tim Snyder has fears. It’s human nature. Especially now in America, but I don’t think he would recommend ppl run and hide. Actually I’ve never heard him say that. He wrote a book ON TYRANNY which tells you how to respond and what to do in these situations. ( although, I’m sure you’ve read it) Not only that but he’s a historian/expert on authoritarianism. He’s going to give his certain thoughts.

β€œBe a patriot”

β€œSet a good example of what America means for the generations to come. They will need it”. β€”Timmothy Snyder

I don't believe I intimated Snyder advocated nor encouraged flight. I have read Tyranny, actually a couple times, have given it for a gift, and have been on his substack "Thinking About." My innate sentiment is missing him. Obviously you are one of his adherents which is maybe why we're all with Meidas now.

I’m not trying to argue with you. I think that’s the last thing any of us should be doing. My point is we should not be scared. We should not run away based on what others β€œsupposedly” did. We should stand tall and fight.

Truly I agree your reinforcement of that conviction is essential to keep foremost in these turbulent times, certainly what I should hold close to heart. Maybe I simply need another shot of courage you share.

Timothy Snyder and other important leaders of the Movement have indeed departed for Canada as they know what's coming.

I wonder how many undocumented persons work at Mar-A-Lardo. I wonder how many undocumented persons work in the homes of Congress. Many have servants and maids and childcare persons who many not be American citizens. Polititicians have gone to other countries to fool people into coming to America for schooling and a "better life" only to have their passports taken as they work behind the scenes for unscrupulous liars in government. Believe it, or not!

Trump Inc uses temporary visa workers to displace Americans at Mar a Lago and the Doral. He is the poster boy for employer sanctions for using undocumented workers on his jobsites.

Question to ponder-what did our founding fathers do in our Revolution? Did they head to Europe or Canada & send letters back on how people should fight? Consider what most chose to do, & how many had money to do something different, & if making a different choice to be β€œsafer” would have changed the outcome.

That is my thought and when I express it people don't know what I'm talking about. Our forefathers faught for this country and prevailed against the British. Are we going to turn and run at the first threat of fascism? Then what, leave America as the sole fascist state with the world largest military? It's not just about individuals it's about this country and the whole globe. Running from it is exactly what it sounds like, running away

Leaving North America by sail was then. Staying protected and continuing the fight from another place keeps the movement alive. Running and out manoeuvring are two very different things that can break or make you. Live to fight another day.
