First term a lot of people considered leaving but frankly it didn’t feel like this.
Mods: I am unsure if this question goes against rule 2 or not. I mean to ask this as the general situation but of course it is political. The wording of the rule makes it unclear if politics are allowed or not…
Not offensive: at this point, we do not have the bandwidth to moderate overtly political discussions. Assume best intent and be excellent to each other.
As someone in the process of leaving, get it in motion NOW. Emigrating takes time.
Visas and immigration laws aside, there’s a lot that goes into leaving the country. Get all your finances in order, make a plan for how to move your stuff, and think about how long it would take you to trim down literally everything you own to just the essentials. If you have family or pets, this goes for them as well. Start going through your stuff and seeing that you can donate, and get as much of it as possible packed. Make a bug out bag, fill it with at least 1 week’s worth of clothes and make sure you know where all your legal paperwork is. Stockpile your prescriptions if you can.
You want to be prepared for whenever you’re ready to make the move
i’m had to move 15 times over the last 20 years and it’s taught me to live with only the bare essentials. i also have legal entitlement to my target country so i’m not sweating the paperwork either.
the only things i’m worried about are the regime change the united states is going to impose on my target country and my pets since they’re the most important things in my life.
