Responding to a now-deleted comment that seemed to suggest a violent response:

What would be the point, honestly?

Calling for his assassination would, rightly in my opinion, be prosecutable.

I'm too demoralized at the moment to hope for what I'd consider an appropriate response by state or federal governments / courts.

The third most likely solution, revolution / civil war, would probably cause far more suffering than any fixes it might enable.

I'm curious if America will soon reach a tipping point where a sizeable portion of its population actually makes an effort to emigrate, rather than just talking about it.

Emigrate where? The parts of the world where quality of life is equal or better don't just have open door policies letting Americans in freely, last I checked. I imagine it's going to get even harder.

No where would have an open door policy for a sizeable portion of the population. It's not that easy to legally move anywhere and the systems in place are designed for around the number they currently process.
