If we’re at the point where we’re talking about needing to call in veterans to ensure the peaceful transition of power, we’re beyond the point of “dangerous.”
Besides, I don’t necessarily accept that all veterans would be on the right side if it came down to that…
I moved within the US in part due to this. I realized that we’re just on the cutting edge of the rise of neo-fascism. Europeans have their own issues, Canada has theirs too. New Zealand was always super appealing, but my specialization isn’t well represented there. Australia is like fucking impossible to immigrate to, as is anywhere in the UK, so Scotland is off the list. Ireland seems like they’ll take you if you have 10 bucks and promise to work and pay taxes there, but also it’s pretty culturally conservative.
I feel more at home in my new state than I may have ever in my old one.
My wife has dual citizenship and her country is pretty easy with her sponsoring our kids for citizenship, we are in the process. I have made my decision, if things hit the fan here I will send them to her country but I am planning to stay here and stick it out.
America is a basket case but the UK isn’t much better. Both would rather criticise and shout at others rather than address their own problems.
When we humans are feeling powerless (usually, we’re right), we often do those things.
When we move somewhere else, for a while we’re relieved. Slowly we realize everywhere has problems.
Also wherever you go, there you are.
Turns out, I just need to move away from myself.
For sure, everywhere has problems.
But I’ll take all of the problems where I live now any day over the problems the US has now, and is staring down the barrel of in the near future.
I’d guess, with all the veterans living here, that the ‘near future’ isn’t so dangerous.

If you rule out Ireland because it’s too “culturally conservative” for you, you’re never going to find anywhere to emigrate 😂
Ireland isn’t any more conservative than most of north America and a significant chunk of the Australian and Kiwi populations.

Me too. Especially more at home weatherwise that my old one. (Stayed too long … just becuz my ancestors made a mistake.)
