The #Resistance 2.0 is really upping the ante this time around.
In the first iteration of the Trump fascist takeover, numerous celebrity liberal stalwarts very publicly threatened to leave the country in protest.
Unfortunately, after garnering the attention they required, none of them followed through.
This time is different.
As just one example, Rosie O’Donnell is now Ireland’s problem.
In the same vein, nobody could possibly crave the glory of becoming a performative holocaust victim — without any of the actual suffering — as badly as a “fascism professor” at an Ivy League American liberal arts college.
Via The Guardian (emphasis added):
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…
What does it say that a scholar of fascism is leaving the US right now? Said Stanley: “Part of it is you’re leaving because ultimately, it is like leaving Germany in 1932, 33, 34. There’s resonance: my grandmother left Berlin with my father in 1939. So it’s a family tradition.”
