I feel like leaving would be an admission that things cannot change, that the fight is not worth fighting. I find that kind of mindset is not good, one must always be ready to stand for what they believe to be right or can they truly say they believe in it?
I don’t believe Americans are capable of such radical change-- or any radical change, for that matter. I genuinely don’t; and this country’s history would suggest that it likes to shoot down those who try to change it in the streets; so why would I stick my neck out like that for people I manifestly don’t trust and can’t believe in?
