We already did, to New Zealand. Education visa to get a PhD my partner had been eager to get, followed by work visa and/or resident visa. Few more years and then permanent resident then citizenship.

We’d been saving up/planning for a decade because we wanted to leave anyway, the environment that gave us Trump only encouraged us to leave. Years later and I’m still 100% convinced we made the right choice for us.

I suggest finding a culture that fits yours, making a very detailed budget, exploring all the options for visas and plan for future visa extensions/applications, and making some sacrifices to get where you want to be.

Lots of EU countries have generous options if you have lineage, I’d start with that as getting into one of them gets you into all of them eventually.

I already moved. It’s not just Trump that’s the problem, and even if he loses in 2024, or does in office, the issues still will persist. America needs to figure out how to make the judicial system work properly and norms need to be codified. Vast swaths of the population need to change their culture of “us vs them”.

I won’t be going back, the way things work with Republicans, you can’t just move to a blue state, you have to move out of the country.

If it’s anything like Boost for Reddit was, it’s unnoticeable. Every 20 or so posts you’ll see an ad and just scroll past, no animations or sound. I think I recall seeing a bottom banner? Any other Boost users confirm? I really just ignored it so I can’t recall.

My point is, ads were non-obstructive
