Agreed. I left just shy of 7 years ago. It’s got to the point where American problems don’t feel like my problems anymore. To say I have given up would be a stretch… I still follow the news and vote because I want to do whatever little I can to help the people I care about who still live there. It’s otherwise hard to stay engaged when it feels so bleak.
Talking to the girlfriend, we kinda both agree that we would never move there full time… At most maybe a 1 month vacation. Even from “third world” countries I feel like I live a better life than most of the people I have left behind. It kinda breaks my heart knowing they could do so much better. Oh well.
Even if you move away, not following American news is like not looking at the crocodile living in your apartment. It’s a country whose influence affects the entire world. Likewise goes for China and to a much lesser extent, Russia.
