As always, disclaimer that I’m not a US citizen.

You usually see quite a few people mentioning leaving the country if Trump would get elected, but how realistic are those plans?

Not to say it’s not justified with the prospect of Project 2025 (see the other thread), but seems like a huge life change that is probably not possible for most of the people.

    No she’s not a US citizen, so she would be accepted by her home country. I could go with her. But that would mean the end of her career. I’d have a tough time because I’m not fluent in that language. In theory I could work remotely but our lives would/will be totally upended. Plus the climate is much different there so she’d be unhappy about that too.

      The US no longer requires you to renounce your previous citizenship.

        OK, didn’t know that. But her country does require it.

          Nothing saying anyone has to report anything

      Well, there’s a tiny bit of good news there - at least you have an idea of where you could go and are likely to end up.

      I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it won’t come to that for you and her, though.
