Humorous jokes, which require a modicum of skill to create, are worthy of a chuckle. His effort failed, if that was in fact the intent.

Actually, as noted in the original comment, I agree. Those who don't leave the US will ultimately be subjugated by self serving authoritarians; or end up in a long, damaging fight. Unfortunately I don't see any reasonable option other than departure, in my case. But no judgement here...I'm not suggesting everyone must make the same choice. Most really don't have the option. Even in my relatively simple case it isn't going to be an easy or cheap solution, but the alternatives are absolutely unacceptable.
