Nah, let them fight it out. Getting in their way at this point means potentially dying for Biden and Kamala. I'd rather the chuds turn the US into Gilead before I die for Biden.
That's just it though; fighting for the dying husk of an empire isn't worth it. Dying for it even less. It'd be far more effective and humanitarian to help those people evacuate than to die for the empire. If you can fight and die for the empire you can better apply that willingness to do praxis into helping the vulnerable escape, because that's an actual noble cause.

This is a fantasy. It is impossible to simply "evacuate" tens of millions of people (at minimum) from the U.S. Even if it were possible, abandoning the U.S. to open fascism quite directly endangers the entire planet.
There's no way to check out of this problem, at least not long-term.
Thinking about it, you present an awful choice once I consider this holistically; on the one hand, you're fighting for the lives of people who deserve help, on the other you're still helping empire consolidate its grasp and legitimize its own existence in a time of crisis. You may help save lives, but at the cost of a newly strengthened, now further emboldened and hardened empire with god-knows-what kind of future leadership and potential ideological purges lined up.

Leftism within the U.S. both helps people and challenges empire.
I'll drink to that

Just another reactionary who has absolutely no idea that leftists and liberals are in fact not the same thing

Get your passports ready, USers. You may need them. Maybe in my next life I’ll be a Canadian smuggler
