Hi there, I’m a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I’m seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons. I was considering moving to Israel since I’m Jewish and I’ve heard they have a better healthcare system there and pay nurses well but this war has made me not really consider that anymore, so I’m open to suggestions. Thanks
Is Europe going further right than the US?

Socially it is moving pretty fast to the right in many places. They still have trains and healthcare. For now. Most US cities are as left leaning as Europe is.
Than the US? Eastern Europe, sure. A lot of the rest is heading in the wrong direction, whereas the US seems to be moving in the right (left) direction.
The US is moving to the left?
Have you met a gen Z kid? The most conservative Americans are dying off and religion is TANKING at a record pace.
I hope you’re right
The trick is waiting for Boomers to die. This is where your nursing skills can really pay off…
isn’t nursing kinda working against the whole dying thing?
Not when it’s done badly. I believe there was one on the front page of Lemmy just this morning.
They cant die soon enough lol
This isn’t the impression that I get about the US at all.
The conservative movement is stronger than ever. Half the country wants to install a conservative dictator?
Youth have always been left leaning. For every Gen Z vegan pouting about climate change there’s a thirty something that just bought their own home and decided that things are “ok just as they are”.
Since the advent of social media politics across the globe has been sliding to the right and I don’t see that trajectory changing in the imminent future.
As a millennial 30-something, my ilk are only slightly left of the older generation. Gen Z, of which I have some (in-law) siblings, is different. These are kids who saw the Trump shit, even if they didn’t totally understand it all. But it left an impression. They are also way more open minded and waaaay less religious. That alone indicates a shift left. And the old adage of shifting right in your 30s/40s has not held for millennials. Assuming it doesn’t hold for Gen X (why would it?), the US is going in a promising direction.
One problem we do have is an activation of boomer voters in response to this stuff. But y’know what Gen X has that Boomers don’t? Time.
If by Eastern Europe you mean Belarus and Hungary, maybe.
