But it completely ignores that even going back to normal the deportation camps will remain, Israel will be aided, and 30ish percent of the country is so morally bankrupt and devoid of reason they’d vote for Trump three times. If things go back to normal. The If isnt even that appealing.
Unfortunately, you may be seeking an escape from human stupidity rather than the US in particular. Trump and MAGA are exceptional symptoms of unexceptional problems. If we regard the prison camps for people convicted of no crime and aiding genocidal states to be the issues, then… most countries have those issues, just not to the same degree as the US under Trump.
See: conservatives in Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea, the Middle East, some of Latin America and Southeast Asia…
Also, this is the first time in my lifetime that support for Israel has meaningfully dropped, so… maybe we can keep that going? Which would be nice.
Anyway, not saying “Don’t get out if you can”; absolutely get out if you can. Just remember that you’re escaping a (potentially lethal) symptom, not escaping the underlying diseases.
I’ve no delusions of general human nature and corruption. But the US sits apart in the way it incarcerates and spends its money. And it’s perfectly normal and ignored because most can’t see past their 401ks. I’ve little interest in further enabling such a monstrous endeavor.
