Everone i know or meet is considering what country to move to- and when. Nobody likes what is happening to America. No one wants to live under a dictatorship-police state

We moved 2.5 years ago.. Mow are friends still in the USA are asking us for help to do the same.
Canada would welcome you. But that would be selfish of us. Stay and fight for your country. Don't let him win.
Canada will not accept us just because we are US citizens. Unless and until they add us to their list of refugees, we must meet certain requirements to move there. Most retired people don’t meet those requirements.
I don't like it either and explored other choices for now I'm not going to be driven out of the country that I love (that I became an American citizen for) that being said he is not going to live forever but if that does not bring back democracy... I'm spending the little time I have left elsewhere.
You need to stand and fight, not run away. Abandoning those with fewer options is not a good option.
I'm looking at Canada.
Can’t leave. Must stay and fight.
Can't leave. Can't afford it.
You’re right.
I keep thinking about Nazi Germany. How will we survive?
True, we don’t have a USA to come to our aid. But there is no choice. Good and just and smarts will win.
It's a tragedy. That the allies of what was America now view it in the same way as we view Putin's Russia. North Korea or the other dictatorships in the world. America must stand up to the autocrats in government or it is lost. So very sad to see.
So stand and fight like a citizen with rights! Be part of the change with your money and celebrity.
We need folks with actual spines on our side. Let them go.
History would suggest that moving out of America is just kicking the can down the road
The wealthy have the privilege to leave. The rest of us will be seeing how long we can survive a government actively trying to kill the population through incompetence, violence and scarcity.
Second sentence is the key. Nobody, more correctly, most, don't support what's happening here. We have numbers. The way forward is massive, coordinated, peaceful action, not taking no for an answer.
This could mean some democratic countries could see an increase in population.
Most people I know don't have the means to go anywhere else, and still don't want to live under a dictatorship.
The fact that we can’t get millions of Americans into the streets is a very bad sign that fascism is going to win! #Resist #NoKings #TACO #DeportElon #AbolishICE 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
The question is what good would that do?
Must be nice to have that option.
Moved to Costa Rica 2 years ago and we do NOT regret it!
Finland!
Must be nice to be able to have enough money to decide to leave and live abroad! Y’all go and let the poor working class fight to take our country! WE WILL SEND YOU A FUCKING TEXT WHEN ITS SAFE FOR YOU ELITISTS TO COME BACK
Sorry Mia, but you don’t know enough people beyond your economic class. Most people cannot leave and as this goes on, I have less respect for those who want to cut and run.
I looked online at what it takes to emigrate to another country and found that most want young, healthy, and wealthy immigrants. I am none of the above. Scotland allows visitors to stay six months, I think.
Mexico. Canada
Most young people i am referring to have tech jobs on line which they can do from else where, or they are actors, or writers or they are retired.
My only child has a chance to move to the other side of the world. It's painful, but I support and even encourage the decision. Get out early.... especially if you're a member of a targeted group. I'll stay and resist...for the both of us.
Could you tell us what the consensus is? That project has been on my mind, but it is daunting: distance accessibility for residency or citizenship economics local politics safety acceptance of Americans not to mention learning a new language and potential loss of SS income (which may happen anyway)
Sad 😢 some of us fear for our lives and want to avoid genocide, why we are shedding all we worked all our life for leaving with just a suitcase to a safe country
They should be considering how to stop it.
The hardest, and best, decision I've ever made was to get out. If only I'd been wrong about what was coming. We're trying to help our Homeland survive from abroad. #KeepHopeAlive
Oh, I'd be doing that if I could. But as a disabled artist living on SSI, I have to 'save' for a day trip out to LI or up to Westchester/Dutchess Cty, and I certainly don't have the money to move even across town. So for many of us at highest risk, we're also those who are most trapped.
I'm also, frustratingly, among the least able to fight. When I was young and healthy I saw myself at the front of any march, climbing any barricade. Now standing and walking any distance is a challenge, and I need someone's arm if I'm going down stairs without a handrail.
I watched the pianist a couple of weeks ago. The events are very similar to what I hear is happening in the US. But in your case there are no mighty countries abroad that can save you. You must resist, stand up and fight for your country and constitutional rights yourself before it gets too late.
I can relate to that. I really feel for you over there.
Very few people I know have the luxury to consider this type of move.
Hello 𝓑𝓪𝓻𝓻𝔂𝓟 🌹 We are living in harsh conditions in Gaza. War and famine threaten our lives every day. My family is in desperate need of your help. Donate anything that can lighten our burden. Don’t stay silent!🙏🏻
not me i’ll go down with the ship
Or do we stay and fight to save our country?
Don’t leave the country, take it back!
Why have a country if you’re not willing to stand up and fight for it (figuratively speaking, I hope)? That’s one thing I admire about Jane Fonda hitting the bricks to get out and engage with Trump county voters last fall. She saw what this eventuality would mean, and she fought to prevent it.
She hasn't said she's leaving
I know that. I believe she’s a fighter, too. She fights for truth every day. But it alarms me to hear talk like that. It begets more fear and feeds a sense of powerlessness. The most vulnerable don’t have the luxury of choice. The rest of us would shirk our civic and moral duty to leave them behind.
And the situation in America is not an isolated case. Sadly, movements similar to MAGA are growing all over the world. They are rulling Italy, Argentina and are menacing to enter the government in Germany, France, Spain. This is a global fight and if they win there won't be many places to go.
How surprising. Another rich liberal worth absolutely fuck all. Don't let the door hit you, and everyone you know or meet, on the way out.
If you can MOVE, get the heck outta here. We did move from MISSOURI to Arizona. Best we could do to ride out fascism. 🦄
Americans are in it for the thrills. Stick around for the climactic finish!
I hope you can help me with some donations and share my campaign with friends. The situation in Gaza is more tragic now, and there is a big advertising secrecy about what is happening To sit back to displacement and massacres again. I hope you can help me as much as you can. The situation is bad
Leaving is giving in to the big bullies running this sham of a government. The people need to speak out and continue their protesting. I’m hoping the voters who put him into office are now suffering buyer’s remorse and will let their voices be heard in 2026.🙏🇱🇷😝
You don’t know many MAGAs, Do you? They aren’t remorseful. They are doubling down.
I have LEARNED what MAGAS truly are through a friend who's job forced him to move to Red State Georgia 🇬🇪 He is STUNNED by what he's witnessed. MAGAS ARE A CERTIFIED RELIGIOUS CULT. Preachers in church warn congregations that they "better love Trump" or the Lord will abandon them. It's spreading
DON'T LEAVE, VOTE !!
Most have zero choice though.
More to Israel and run for Prime Minister.
most people in the US don't have this option, so it is essential for many good people to stay and fight, and overthrow the Trump abomination
Ha! He can’t read.
One advantage of living in Houston is that in spite of Texas being a gerrymandered red state, Houston continues to be a blue respite, in spite of Republicans' best efforts to destroy that.
We met some nice visitors from 🇺🇲 here in 🇵🇹 visiting all of their friends that have already made the move
As usual you generalize a lot. Many are happy with what is happening to the US.

Please consider Ireland.
Im an Irish citizen. So- of course Ireland is my second home
The Deep Roots of Irish Antisemitism www.thefp.com/p/the-deep-r...
I'm not far from Boyle, do my shopping there often and go to the farmers market when I can. There are some lovely properties around overlooking Lough Key and Lough Gara. If you prefer a city I'd head to Galway before Dublin, it just more vibrant and neighbourly.
I considered #Ireland but Ralph has been so 😵💫🧠〰️〰️〰️🛰️ by the #Navy & #Elon to move to #Portugal that there really was no other choice. At least now we can just rent a car and visit 🇮🇪
Or maybe train is more feasible? 🤔
It would be great if We The People could flee, but we must stay and Resist 🐦🔥🎙️☎️ - "Nobody" enjoy your privilege. (Sees walkers and Seniors with the few things they were able to take, sleeping on the streets). Don't worry about it.
I guess you don’t know any middle class workers.
So many of my friends are taking their retirement early to move. I know folks are saying this is for the wealthy, but anyone of retirement age with modest social security or pension can immigrate to several countries.
And leave your kids and grandkids behind?
I don’t think we’ll be able to count on social security. Most countries require that you be able to support yourself and have something to contribute to their country.
But most of us don't want to leave our children and grandchildren here.
Time for anyone who's not awake to wake the F up. Dems are infighting about Jeffries vs Crocket, gerrymandering...meanwhile the plane's going down. Get it together Dems and UNITE. bsky.app/profile/sane...
For those who can afford it, I say get out before he closes the borders from the inside holding “white” citizens hostage.
Must be nice... those of us here on Earth One could never afford just give up and move to another country...
Pardon me but that’s a little bit chicken 💩 way out. Stay and stand firm with your beliefs. Don’t give up on America!
I wish I had the money to move out this mess that Trump is making of America!!!!!!!!!
It looks very bad.
Thank you for sharing this. I've just DM'd it to a list of right-wing podcasters who are starting to get it...quite late in the game but at least there's that. Pretty depressing. I've been sounding the alarm bells since Trump's 1st term. Do you follow Ruth Ben-Ghiat? She wrote "Strongmen"....
Rightly so!
Goody for those with options
