72. I won't be a Tutsi

The flip side is people saying "well that's petulant to just leave America if Trump wins".

No it's not. If you are married to a citizen of another country won owns property there and whose uncle at 96 - was part of Mussolini's circle - and he's telling you: This is point for point how Beni did it and you have to get your pretty wife out of there -

We will leave.

You will be fine in Trump world - I won't.

I respect your courage of conviction - respect my courage to survive because I see a mass direct threat to my life. Mass.

I won't be a Tutsi and expect people to be decent when they have proven to me they are not. I won't be guilted by the Left into fighting their insurgency when Trump wins. You guys are on your own.
