Ask Lemmy

This post comes across more as panic than serious consideration. Start planning, consider where you want to move and what changes to your life you are willing to make. If your sole reason for moving is trump bad and you don't have a large amount of disposable income, consider the fact that it may take longer than 4 years to sufficiently prepare.

I mean, the most likely scenario was to marry a citizen of some country. Example: marry an EU citizen and get a visa to Europe, learn a new language, then become citizen of that country, which would also get you EU citizenship along with the country's citizenship, and you'd get access to most of Europe via shengen area.

But since you are already married...

Your options are either:

• Be rich enough to fund a bussiness in a EU country. And you said you don't have the money so... next
• Be a "skilled worker". Do you happen to have a skill that countries are in demand for?
• Do you have any relative that are close enough in relationship to you in some other country that can sponsor an immigration visa?

I mean I don't think many countries are accepting LGBT+ refugees yet, most of the world is still considering the US as a democracy, therefore they would likely deny asylum status.

While moving to another country is probably the safest option, you might not have the oppportunity to do so. Meanwhile, your best course action is, if you aren't already in a blue state blue city, move immediately. Then contact the ACLU for advice. I don't wanna sound like a gun freak, but you might want some firearms to protect yourself. (As in: Defence against potential Maga freaks, don't actually use it against law enforcement, that'd end badly)

The others have given good starting points.

I'd say get an attorney to help guide you through the process. Can make things go smoother

Outside = the whole world.

But the the whole world is different from the whole world.

Each country is different, but you are going to have to look at how you can immigrate to certain countries. Some countries let you apply for jobs beforehand, other countries only want you to get a job after you move.

First, decide where you would want to go. In the knowledge that I have learned previously (I worded it like this because it's subject to change), Ireland is a pretty easy place to immigrate to. Not Northern Ireland, but The Republic of Ireland. North Ireland is part of the UK and while the requirements to go there can be met, Ireland is easier than that, but I digress...

Once you figured out where you want to go, start looking for jobs in country. Depending on what type of GS employee or contractor you are, there's a good chance that there is a demand for it in different countries. Essentially, just job hunt.

Now, a personal suggestion I would like to make is if and when you interview, do not mention that your trying to leave the country due to political strife. Say something along the lines of "I wish to experience a life outside of the United States, and would like for my child to be versed in different world views, opinions, and cultures".

West coast best coast. If you know how to be govt sloth you can be govt sloth in any of the cities / counties /state govt agencies. Just use the 2024 presidential election map to figure out your 'no go' areas.

Digital nomad VISA seems the easiest way to relocate overseas. You might be able to even work for a US company. Digital nomad VISAs basically say, "We'll let you live here, but you need to telecommute."

Look for visa opportunities for your citizenship. This may be the most fruitful. Also Look at work visa requirements for potential destinations. What’s your line of work? Are there opportunities elsewhere?
