As always, disclaimer that I’m not a US citizen.

You usually see quite a few people mentioning leaving the country if Trump would get elected, but how realistic are those plans?

Not to say it’s not justified with the prospect of Project 2025 (see the other thread), but seems like a huge life change that is probably not possible for most of the people.

    My family is planning on moving to Europe, not exactly sure where. It’ll probably largely depend on where we can get residency and jobs. Spain and Austria are our current leaders for various reasons.

    We’ve been unhappy with the way American society functions for a long time and we’re tied of swimming upstream to make things better, so this is the load of bricks that broke the camel’s back.

    I do feel like I’m abandoning the people who are in greater danger than we are and can’t afford to leave, but honestly if progressives can’t be bothered to do the absolutely bare minimum and vote until their version of Jesus runs for office things are never going to get better. I’m not going to waste my life while people we need to make change do fuck all but whine and wish things were different when they do nothing meaningful to change it.
