Hello, all! Longtime lurker on Reddit and now on Lemmy. I’ve tried looking into getting out of the US as things aren’t looking too great as I’m sure many of you know, but wanted some tips from those of us who have gotten out. Where did you decide to move to, and what were the things you looked at when deciding to move there? How did you go about the process? What are some stories you can tell about the immigration process? Where can I start? How can I realistically make it happen? I hope this isn’t silly to you all, as it matters quite a lot to me and I’m genuinely interested in getting away from here for good. Thank you all for your time!

When the general populace is agreeing with, and supporting people who have more wealth than 90% of the rest of the US, I can’t help but feel like I am insane and am held hostage by my “government”. Enough is enough man. Life is too short to sit here and constantly fight for rights that were already fought for lifetimes ago. It’s disgusting.

Apt username, and I sympathize. I'm perpetually astounded at the ignorance of mankind.

I chose it awhile ago since being awake feels like a lucid nightmare. Haha I am too, friend. It does make me a little happier to see another who feels the same.

Solidarity, brother.

You're welcome to participate in my little effort to shift the political landscape.

Move to a coastal city in California, and you'll find millions of like-minded people to surround yourself with. I don't think this is the answer to our problems, mind you, but this State is drawing clear lines on progressive subjects. We also have a larger GDP than most countries... There's alot of power in that.
