Isn't it amazing how so many people have used the reasoning "I want to fight fascism, and I think the best way to do it is to quit and give my job to a fascist"?
If I received a message like this, I would buy a plane ticket to a safe country and would apply for asylum immediately, and I would use the letter as a basis for the asylum application. It seems like a really strong basis for the application.
Great advice, but what if you're concerned about the possibility that you might be stuck in the other country permanently(not because of the search itself but because the U.S. Government could fall apart while you're visiting the other country)?
Well I sure as hell don't use that one.
