If fascism in the us manages to fester into its next form I can easily see this scenario playing out. Jordan is just enough of an ideologue to ruffle the feathers of the wrong idiot with power.
Ironic, since he’s long been obsessed with the dangers of falling into the tyranny of left-wing authoritarianism.
So he willingly runs into the arms of right-wing authoritarianism.
At the end of the day, authoritarianism all looks fairly alike in practice. So he may get to experience a taste what he’s long feared (just the Nazi variety, not the Communist variety). So it’s almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy, attracting what you most fear and all that.
Look, maybe Canada has warts. Maybe I don’t like the idea of being forced to use pronouns or whatever, I dunno. But that “woke” stuff is far better than the darkness that’s brewing here in the US, especially here in the South. People are embracing Fascism, full-throated, here. I want out. I’d happily trade places with Dr. Peterson and move my family to Canada.
People friendly with the regime are in no way safe from being punished by the regime. That’s exactly the outcome of tearing down due process.
This type of person thinks it will be fine because they didn’t do anything wrong, even when they’re watching people who didn’t do anything wrong suffer or die. It comes from growing up in an environment that has a lot of justice and fairness, and so you think it’s built into the world somehow, like gravity. It isn’t.
Look on the bright side, that means he’s one step closer to dying in a Salvadoran labor camp
He’s too rich, white, and willing to promote their agenda to be sent to an El Salvador prison camp.
Give it time. Purging their own quickly becomes a priority.

I wish you well, stay safe and remember that their entire existence revolves around cruelty and cruelty has a limit.
