I consider myself pretty middle-of-the-road, am not a huge fan of Trump, and find that I can find common ground with most people regardless of their politics. However, I absolutely can't stand these entitled hypocrites who whine about wanting to leave the U.S. every time a Republican wins. Thinking that the U.S. is somehow uniquely bad and evil is its own form of American exceptionalism, IMHO. And OP's most recent post about planning to move to the UK to, in part, escape the "classism" of the U.S. is highly delusional.

You’ll need to look for an international, American or Canadian school and you do have to choose carefully to avoid too much privilege. But people are very open and welcoming and as a society it does a lot to support happy families and children.

+1. We're American expats, currently posted in Singaopore. Other than the heat, I love it. It's been the easiest of all the countries where we've lived in integrate, including UK. It's clean, everything works and there is a sizeable expat community whom you will meet when putting your kids at an international school, but also, English is one of the official languages here so it has been super easy to make Singaporean friends too. In some other countries where we've lived, we were in an expat bubble and it was really hard to get to know locals. Singapore for the win.

Other places we've lived have included Germany, Dubai, Moscow, Saudi, UK.

I'm American and have lived and worked in an EU country, as well as UK. For each, I had a work visa sponsored by my employer. It's not impossible, depending on OP's job.

Is this now? or are you speaking of the US circa 1990-2016

Maybe the wife and husband have different, multiple citizenships. I know someone born with 5.
