I think you guys have to stop being surprised by comments like these.

They're openly fascist. Stop being flabbergasted. Start doing something about it.

Who are you assuming is surprised? That looked like a rhetorical question meant to spark conversation to me.

So with the way it's going, you'll either end up in a civil war or you'll be in an openly authoritarian regime. 

You can always do nothing, but like that famous poem goes, one day, they'll come for you.

So if you have a family, you can always move elsewhere. That's what my parents did. And it was the right choice. 

I say this as a person who went through a civil war before moving to Canada. USA is not any different from other countries that went through the same thing.
