Escape to where? It's the only country with freedom of speech in the world.
How long? Well, the people already want and support it. But democrats would still need a majority to modify the constitution. And republicans are unpredictable.

You are delusional. The constitution will be ignored, so it is irrelevant. At this point the only way to save America would be to exterminate Silicon Valley.

When the government feels brave. An armed populace, for some mysterious reason, scares the government, even when nobody dares shooting back. It is growing braver, but slowly. One unpunished massacre at a time. As of now, the citizens in the US can still sue the government and win. Providing they survive the encounter.
