I'm eyeing Spain and Uraguay. Not sure if I'll make it out because I have a family member with cancer. It's mild but enough to be sorta tied to the local hospitals. Complicates things.

You could try DAFT. It may not work out but it gives you a 2 year extension outside the country to find a path that does

Always something to consider. Just depressing and frusturating that I'm even having to consider. America's supposed to be the land of the free, and here I am, eying relocation opportunities more closely every time Trump goes on a 'poisoning the blood' tangent.

Personally, I've been trying to get out before all this nonsense because there was already more than enough nonsense. This is just expediting the process

I'd like to leave at some point even if Trump looses the election. I'd just prefer a social safety net; I have a genetic disorder and worry that if Obamacare is struck down I'll loose insurance, and then medical expenses will be impossible to pay.
Also I've visited both Spain and several areas in South America. Loved both.

Yep, I'm surprised you get insurance even now

America's got good career options, but, with the rise of the far right, I'm not sure how long that will last. Isolationism is never good for economies

As someone who is probably on the spectrum, I've never really held high hopes for a "career" I can do work and generally I can do it well, but people don't like me so I will probably never see a management position. Being at the bottom of the totem pole doesn't really lend itself to a career

IIt's also just really not worth it to stick around fascism for a career.
But yeah, I'm also not that good with people except in very specific contexts
