The world won't for me, but my trans friends in Florida are making emergency plans on what state / country to move to, my friend working in Ukraine is having to find a new job somewhere else for when US Aid ends and the country is annexed. And I genuinely believe our elections will be fair in the same way reconstruction south elections were fair. This election has been a huge and direct personal tragedy for at least a half dozen people I know, definitely more than 2016.
We're now seriously considering getting over to Europe before the transfer of power. I'd give it maybe 10% chance now but it's certainly something we've begun to talk about as of this morning
If you're serious, then before you move to Serbia and get your ass beaten by a random Orthodox incensed you got blind drunk on palinka with a Muslim before throwing rotten fruit at a Catholic: there are many places that'd hire you as an English teacher and you don't even need a teaching degree in a private language school. Your chances of getting hired would probably be higher outside Warsaw, but it's a stable line of work that'd open you a channel for work visa. There are also higher learning institutions opening a) new medical schools, b) degrees done in English. MPH would certainly suffice for research/teaching assistant job at many places. Maybe not ideal, but beggars can be choosers until they get a nice car or something along those lines. EDIT/BTW: These are just my 'shots from the hip' as far as jobs go, I'm sure there's a lot more. You could probably work as an analyst in quite a few places. My, uch, 'enemy with dubious benefits' basically did your programming/modelling class for a living through EY or something like that. Here are job application sites (I think they have English option?): https://www.pracuj.pl/ https://www.aplikuj.pl/ https://www.olx.pl/praca/ Public institutions often don't use those and assume you'd navigate their site, so if you'd need my help, you know how to get ahold of me.
You've probably looked it over more than me @ Europe, but my Ukraine friend says the easiest way is to take a stint in Serbia or Kazakhstan and then transfer from there to Western Europe a few years later
I think that unless you’re a minority or LGBT life isn’t going to change that much. Americans have seen far too many horror fantasies about WW2 or Soviet Union stuff or Shariah to really understand what life in those states is like. It’s not tanks, goose stepping and speeches nonstop. It’s normal life. Go look at video of China. It’s not horrible.
Totally agreed, I have friends who are directly affected afected and I'm very worried about them. Biggest hit to me personally as a cis white dude in america in a blue state will probably just be the rolling back of consumer protection and labor laws and a ton of bad juju. And of course in a few decades, all the species that go extinct from a complete lack of climate policy (not that Kamala was a whole lot better there tbh). Imo a likely prediction of what's actually going to happen is that they achieve project 2025 completely and look the other way when red states put the thumb on the scales of future elections. Which for me is WAY BAD ENOUGH TO FREAK OUT RIGHT NOW!!! but not bad in the same way some people are making it out to be (ie. tanks in the streets military occupation - we are not WWII paris)
