The only thing that will rile up most privileged Americans will be when they come after your SSRIs.
You do know that most privileged Americans are scared of this administration and horrified by Trump. That’s why we are thinking of fleeing our own country. The tone deafness it would take to come on to this thread and say Americans don’t care…. Just wow.
The PP is right. Most Americans don’t care. And maybe privileged Americans like you should use your privilege to do something instead of running away.
NP. If I was a billionaire I’d use my $$ to run anti-trump and Elon ads. I’m privileged, but can’t afford that and compete with the oligarchs, so I’ll run away.
So because you're not a billionaire, you're going to run away and leave the least privileged Americans to suffer?
As opposed to doing what?
+1
What do you expect the PP to do?
How can any individual fight the massive number of idiots who believe the relentless flow of misinformation?
I don't know, maybe not just bail?
What makes you think other countries want to take in selfish cowards?
I know, you'll say it's not your fault and you'll be welcome anywhere because you have money, and you don't care even if you're not welcome because your family blah blah....and that is precisely why Americans are so despised around in the world and why the country was so susceptible to this in the first place.

We don’t have foreign passports but have family in Europe who could help.

Nope, well aware and recently spent a month in County Sligo which is Yeats country. The PP said she wanted to immigrate to the UK as her grandparents were from the UK. She is a wannabe limey.

Right wing authoritarianism is on the rise everywhere. Putin and Trump are trying to carve up the Western hemisphere between them. I wouldn’t want to be in Europe and caught in the middle of that. I also wouldn’t want to live anywhere near the equator as the planet heats up.
I’ve been thinking about buying a couple of acres in a remote spot for off-grid living, but that comes with its own set of challenges, and it still wouldn’t be exactly the peaceful retirement I had envisioned.

With Trump siding with Russia, neither Europe or the US is safe.
Europe is definitely not safe.
It's not safe, but ideologically more aligned to democratic values that the US has traditionally upheld...with some caveats.
