I’d love to move and could probably swing it but I have a lot of pets that cannot cross the country. I have made a lifetime commitment to them so until they pass I will not leave. When I do will be to Japan or Uruguay. I have no problem learning languages quickly. I just can’t leave these animals behind.

Would if I could, but I can’t, so I won’r.

My problem is that I love the state/region I live in, but large swathes of the rest of the country are a risk to my life and my age, skills, and minority status don’t make me appealing from an immigration standpoint, let alone that many places have just as much of an issue with people like me as the Republicans do.

I’m getting the fuck out as soon as I am able

I will not run from my country. I will remain here and be a problem to the opposition by existing aka an enemy to the regime of an administration.

And just because I continue to live here, does not mean I accept everything they do.

Born/raised in the US but I also have Swedish citizenship and I’ve lived there as an adult. My American girlfriend is spending a lot of time learning Swedish and we expect that we’ll move there sometime in the next few years.

I’d like too but I don’t think it’s a possibility. I don’t have the money or the skills.

If I had the money to I’d leave in a heart beat.

I would like to move to Canada - I even have an in, as my grandfather was from there. Circumstance, however, prevents it as a practical goal.

Already left and in Europe but in a bit of a grey area with residency between two countries here. Doing my best to get sorted more permanently and to stop sending my tax money to the US and instead send it to one of the two governments (whoever is willing to let us continue as a family to live).

It was stressful and expensive over the last year+ but wife and I are both in high risk categories for detention, persecution, and possible separation from our new baby in the US, so not much choice. We are liquidating assets there which is not good for our financial future but hopefully we aren’t too old to rebuild stability in Europe somewhere, or failing that, the Philippines where we have much better residency privileges.

I tried to get out in 2013, failed, tried again, and succeeded in 2015. I now have permanent residence in Japan. If I had it to do over again, I probably would have gone somewhere in Finnoscandia instead (and indeed I’m working on Norwegian now as a backup plan). When my parents pass, I will probably renounce my US citizenship entirely; I have zero plans to ever live there again and, at least for now, zero plans to visit unless someone is dying.

I learnt Japanese in my 30s. It blows my mind seeing threads where people just give up if there’s not English or they must learn another language.

Can’t move. Too old to qualify for visas anywhere else and my occupation isn’t a valued need.

Never have been fine with it and would move in a heartbeat if given the chance. Only thing keeping me here is lack of funds and a useful skillset. My family is just my parents who most likely only got maybe a decade or so left in them. My friends are all on Discord with none living near me (hell one is in a different country already). My job pays well, but isn’t exactly skilled labor or anything I give a shit about.

I would love to move out to an EU country like Ireland, Germany or the Netherlands.

The big issue is getting accepted into other countries. What options for visas that go beyond a year have specific requirements that must be met, and many of those requirements are entirely circumstantial and dependent on people in those countries you’ve never met.
