I could run away and abandon any hope of fixing my country and also abandon my children. It wouldn't put me in any morally superior position.

Just telling people "You should run away" because the country is run by people grossly violating the constitution isn't the flex you think it is, and in fact I think it is attitudes like the one you've just presented that help get us into these kinds of situations.

I'm sorry what was that? You want rules after all?

I said anarchy was better than "rule of law" by bandits. Somehow you read that as I need to move away because those are the only two options.

Even if we do suppose for the sake of argument, that anarchy is better than rule of law by bandits, and those are literally the only two options -- even then I don't see merely moving away and letting my children deal with it as a clear superior option. It's merely possibly more convenient for me.
