You might want to looking at your ancestry. Many European countries have citizenship by descent. Given that many Americans are originally at least partly from Europe, you might find that you are actually a European citizen.

How do you do this?

My grandparents are dead. Died before I was even born. Parents are maga so that's a nonstarter

It depends on the country, but you need to be able to proof, that your ancestors were citizens of the country and a paper trail proving that you are indeed a descendend of them. So basically figure out where your family is from, what the countries laws are in respect to citizenship by descent and then find the documents showing your relation have them in the right form(translated and approved) and then hand that in. Again the process differes between countries and you might have to talk with your parents to get some of those documents.

... I actually fail from both sides. Without revealing personal history, let's just say I know one side of my family is not from Europe, and the other one is best described as "unknown, but fragmented enough that the answer is unlikely".

And as the US deteriorates, these programs will likely be the first to be curtailed.

I have people who have been refugees in my family - they'll tell you being early is much better than being late.
