“Dear Rick -
Love the show & thank you so much for all your fantastic work in support of Harris & against Trump.
My husband and I watched and listened to you just about every day since we found your podcasts, and you’ve helped us deal with this political and social nightmare.
That said, we know you’re probably exhausted and bummed out now, as we all are. But please remember that everyone who’s not in the Trump cult (and we are legion) really needs you and those like you now more than ever. We see real, unprecedented danger to everyone & the world with this presidency, and we’re going to need your insight, encouragement and strategy to deal with it over the next 4 years.
Here are our 2 questions for you at this juncture:
1. How similar is our current political situation in the US to that in 1932 Germany, when Hitler was just elected?
2. At what point should people who are against Trump move out of the US (assuming that is feasible for them)?
a. (sub questions): Where is the line in the sand on this decision, ie, how do we know when it’s time to go (for people who can afford to move out of the US, but it would be a real sacrifice in other ways) ?
E.g., When groups of thugs start roving our cities or neighborhoods, threatening/using violence on people openly critical of Trump?
Or, sooner than that (most likely), when public figures critical of Trump (d.g., you, Adam Schiff, Jon Stewart, Sam Harris, etc) start becoming silent or leave the US for fear of persecution by the Trump administration?
Sincerely,
Jeanine and John in Northern California”
