    The autocratic dictatorship is imminent and I don’t have a current passport. Not sure what the future holds.

      If push comes to shove your passport is only the first step. You would need to actually find a country to take you, and countries don’t hand out citizenship like candy unless you’re rich. Without a second citizenship, you would be very restricted in where you can work.

      Your best bet is if your parents or grandparents came from abroad, some countries have blanket policies to have 1st or 2nd generations come back to their ancestral homeland. It very much varies by country, you would have to do your own research. It might be worth doing as a last resort.

        I may look into the other genealogical direction. My daughter has skills that are globally in demand and she’s probably more upset about America than I ever could be. Maybe there’s a bring your parent along program out there somewhere.

        I’m fifteen years out from viable retirement. If I can hold on that long, there are several places I could go on my own accord.

          Arm up, particularly a pistol, apply for CCW. The right will continue their stochastic violence and seemingly random mass shootings, targeting poc and lgbtq. Go vote for gun control absolutely, but your votes not gonna save you when someone storms a mall and starts spraying because they’re part of a violent cult. I promise you the right already has their guns, they’ve been passing them down to their kids too. The most strict gun control even if enacted tomorrow won’t dis-arm these would be shooters. You’ll have to wait for those effects to happen over a longer period of time.

          A vast majority of Democrat representatives live out their lives without getting killed by MAGA crazies. I think most of them though are willing to take that risk for what they believe in. Do you believe in something greater than yourself that would prompt you to take that risk?
