Find a way out.

Apply for asylum abroad


This is one of the stupidest things I have ever read on this site. No country is going to accept asylum seekers from the US.


I wouldn’t be so sure. I could see that there could an outflow of “refugees” from the US. People that are being discriminated against or oppressed, possibly threatened.


The thing is, there is going to be brain drain from red states to blue states, and blues states internationally. I think that a lot of countries would be more than willing. It’s not like we are trying to ship Trump voters over there


Sure but right now the brain drain is from blue to red. The red states are picking up companies and people.

They could with US assistance. Everything done so far seems to be a favor to Russia, so it could happen.


The US might be busy in a little civil war with the help of Mexico and Canada.

No one will be fine when the economy collapses and we run out of food.



I can’t figure out who the targeted groups actually are?

We are actively working on getting a UK ancestry visa and purging belongings that would make packing things up difficult.

We are tech and not medical but the lower salaries are not going to stop us if we feel the country is collapsing.

The British monarchy is at least simply a figure head. In 2016, my family joked we were going to Canada and then just got back to work and reality. This time, we aren’t joking about leaving anymore and trying to figure it out.

Don't let the 'liberal' mindset fool you.
Culturally, it's very xenophobic even if you speak the local language. People are racist and closed-minded here, especially towards foreigners. Integration is hard.

Yes, some places are safer, but a lot of these countries have real issues too.


This. I am from Europe, my parents and siblings live there. USA is still the best place to live and work. Europe is not the same what it used to be 20+ years ago. There are no jobs in Europe, people are not as open as people in USA, it's a different vibe over there. Europe is great for vacation, but working there is a different story.

Give Trump a few more years and you would just have to return to the States as a refugee from Italy, Holland and the Provence region in France. Poland is all that is holding Putin back from taking over Europe.


Putin can't capture Kyiv, I don't think he's rolling through Rome.


Doesn't have to -- it is going to be surrendered. The Italian military is as effective as the boy scout troop who sold you a Christmas tree.

I think you vastly overestimate Russia's military ability and vastly underestimate Germany's ability to kick ass once they wake up.

France and the UK have nukes, which is why Putin/Musk/Trump want to interfere in elections, just like the US elections. They know that can’t win on the battlefield.

You also have to think that eventually Russia will be so weak that China might make an easy move on some territory.

+1 most Americans do not qualify for another citizenship or have a high level skill that makes it easy to leave.


Where are the skilled workers going to go willingly? They have to accept a steep salary cut.


I think the OB/GYNs for one would be happy to trade a lower salary for the right to practice evidence-based medicine on a healthier maternal population without fear of being imprisoned. Plus no obscene medmal bills.

And pretty much every civilized country would be happy to have them.


Obstetricians are not used that much in Europe. Many women use midwives I had a midwife birth in the UK and it was the best and safest of my three deliveries.
