I follow the news, but I also need to get to work on efforts to move somewhere else. My wife is completely terrified of moving far-away from family, but of course, I'm rather terrified of living under a fascist state.

I don't know where you live or how hypothetically fucked you are, but it isn't too late to give a little of your time to get involved in local politics and fight back! No guilting or judgement, just trying to keep a positive mood as a lot of times these "escape plans" don't work out for various reasons

Dude, I already pay monthly dues to an activist org, attend the monthly meetings, attend demonstrations, sign petitions, talk to my local legislature, and basically the whole lot of it.
The term "card-carrying" refers to me. I have a literal membership card from said activist organization. I am fighting back.
EDIT: Actually, no, I have two membership cards. One is from my normal activist org, the other from the ACLU.
