Any countries y'all would consider leaving the U.S. for?

I hate that I'm even thinking like this, and the last thing I want is to sound like a pos leftist. But does the thought ever cross any of you guys' minds about leaving the US? The idea of having my eight-year-old son come up in this country under a Mike Obama, Newsome, or God forbid a Kamala Harris in the future; the thought is too much. I do everything to protect him from the garbage that is destroying our country, including home school. So hell, for the sake of conversation, are there other countries you would consider, or was Reagan right when he said our country is the last stand on Earth?

We are the most free country on the face of the planet for now. Fight tooth and nail to save it.

I’ve thought about it.

I’ve got a lot of family there.

You could retire over there for cheap, but there still many conveniences in the US that you’d lack.

Living there yes, but not giving up my US citizenship. Maybe Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Portugal, Costa Rica. That is off the top of my head. I would consider living in all of those for a lower cost of living and my money will go much further in retirement. I would go and visit the US as needed.

Palawan, Baguio, Cebu City, maybe Dumaguete. There are pockets of good areas in the Philippines.

Cebu and a couple of the nearby Islands seemed awesome. But most upper middle class lived in gatrd/protected areas because there is a significant underclass. You might miss the USA after a while and the flights take a whole day...

A closer English speaking place like Belize might work better.

Nah, it’s pretty rough. Couldn’t see myself living there full time.

The fact is that there are very few places even worth considering. I’d maybe look at Portugal or Uruguay. Intrigued by El Salvador but I would need to see a longer track record.

Also the farther down the Archipelago you go toward Indonesia and Brunei you start running into Muzzie Extremists that don't like white guys

I would not give up my US citizenship. I would travel all around the area to take breaks from the Philippines. Go to Japan, Thailand, Korea, Malaysia, etc. even Australia.
