My friend of Jewish descent recently listened to some audio recordings of his grandparents before they fled Germany.

They basically describe similar situations and feeling quite similarly to how he feels today. His wife doesn't like him talking about it, but he's sincere: he feels the need to flee.

I don't blame him one bit.

EDIT: To be clear, his desire to flee has very little to do with his Jewish lineage and more to do with how scary and dangerous the Trump cult is. Him being of Jewish descent is just like a cherry on top for MAGAs who want to abuse others. A bonus.

It’s probably for the best for him to flee, first they’ll come for the LGBT then they’ll come for him.
