Hello, all! Longtime lurker on Reddit and now on Lemmy. I’ve tried looking into getting out of the US as things aren’t looking too great as I’m sure many of you know, but wanted some tips from those of us who have gotten out. Where did you decide to move to, and what were the things you looked at when deciding to move there? How did you go about the process? What are some stories you can tell about the immigration process? Where can I start? How can I realistically make it happen? I hope this isn’t silly to you all, as it matters quite a lot to me and I’m genuinely interested in getting away from here for good. Thank you all for your time!

    Find a job that will relocate you. Million times easier than the alternatives.

    I did the “alternatives”. I survived. Would not recommend.

      Thank you for your response. I am sorry you had a hard time with the alternatives. Is life better for you since you moved though?

        Wouldn’t move back.

        I am in Europe. (I also have EU citizenship so that drove my decision).

        I have friends who moved to NZ to try to escape the threat of Nazis here as well (it’s not like Europe is free from the evils shredding the US).

        But yeah. Socialism is great. Salaries are lower and taxes higher and I would not trade in a million years.
