Exactly. They're DEALING WITH the far right. They haven't just handed they keys to the country over.

There's still a chance for them.

My wife and I have considered shoring up in Baja. We have quite a few friends in a well insulated community down there, and it's a 12 hour drive from where we're at, assuming they don't lock the border from the inside (which they probably will at some point).

Even that isn't enough unless you have a lot of money laying around and some kind of support network in whatever country you plan to escape to.

Most people don't. I really didn't get the whole scope/big picture until my wife (who immigrated as a child and now works with immigrant families) explained the whole process and gave examples of things she's seen at work and with people in the community. Last night we got dinner with my mom and she asked "OK where are we moving to?" to only get a lengthy conversation of how it's works and how hard it is. It's not as easy as buying a plane ticket, selling all your stuff or shipping things to where you are going and then picking up life as normal. I hope most people here realize that, but I felt like it needed to be said.

I've looked, it's also incredibly expensive, outside of many people's means, mine included

Yeah now that Russia has bought and paid for the US they can focus elsewhere.
