Orthogonal point: I know of an LGBT couple who keep their (only, US) passports valid for escaping civil instability, or in other words “when they finally make The Handmaid’s Tale a reality.”

If Handmaid's Tale became reality at least many countries' asylum laws would then apply, so if you were able to get there physically the legal documents might not matter so much. (I understand there are a few fringe Mormon communities which straddle the Canadian and Mexican borders; they might have further ideas)
- TheNewsIsHere 3y agoYes; in fact they use a PKI. But by that same token you can simply close the borders irrespective of what passport a person holds. You can also leave when the writing is on the wall but before such events.

Two useful sayings from my childhood were "run down the hawser line before the other rats", and "skate to where the puck is going to be". In business, it's easy to find a new position when everyone else thinks your current company is hot stuff. In sport, better to let the play come to you than always be chasing the play. Anticipation helps in many cases: allowing one to act, not to react. * https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16488/jewish/Chapter-5.htm#v5 https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16488/jewish/Ch...
