I'm not saying it's easy, but the straightforward solution is to move

Which countries aren't dangerous like this? Norway perhaps?

For those with the resources to do so, perhaps. But those well-resourced people fleeing the country are then leaving those who are not well-resourced to fend for themselves, and letting it further devolve.

The US is currently, probably, still a Democracy with a semi-functioning independent Judiciary and public pressure can still have an impact.

Unlike the USA (yes, even now), most countries are not eager to accept foreigners.

To a country without brownshirts you mean?

History suggests this is a short-term solution, not even a medium-term solution.

A critical mass of people pushing back against fascism leave a country, and that country tends to devolve into the kind of place that starts wars with its neighbors.

This is why I always turn my head and squint at Americans fleeing to Canada, as if an America that fully embraced everything they see it doing wouldn't come right after Canada next.
