I was watching a video of an american that lives abroad saying he is trying to get a new nationality at the country he lives at, because he thinks the country, and other countries as well, may not want americans around for much longer. He said he's afraid things may escalate. I thought that was so crazy! how fast you can go from feeling safe and privileged to suddanly feeling like you are hated by everyone. 100 DAYS!
Looking at quite a few reactions from other countries, a lot of them seem to want to brain drain the hell out of the US.
I mean, I'm down, I want to get off Mr. bones' Wild Ride.
Please brain drain me, I hate this country, it is a fascist shithole doomed to repeat over and over again with endless bumper crops of naive but extremely confident libertarians and conservatives who shout down any kind of adult nuanced conversation and flip randomly between being manipulated by their own racism that they loudly and violently deny and reinventing basic things very badly while refusing to learn anything from previous people who tried the same thing.
Looking from outside I see it more like single people being afraid. I've seen some people wanting to come back because they are afraid. When you have a harvard grad taken from the street it's really hard to feel like investing in a career in the US. It's just unstable for outsiders (even if we know white people don't have to worry about it)
I'm partway through learning the language, but I moved my family over 2 years back when I felt which way the wind was blowing.
I'm less worried for myself, I can (and have) literally lived anywhere and will manage, but it feels so good to have them safe in what I consider the best country in the world right now.
Flying back feels like flying into a banana republic, or honestly China in the 10s.
