I left. No regrets, just a lot of grief. As a trans immigrant, the US does not and has never represented me.
Fun fact, I still have to pay US taxes but I can't renew my US passport. What's that about taxation without representation?

is it irony that the regime bending over backward for privileged people is most of all driving out privileged people

I Left a long time ago (for the second time) and will never go back. My kids got a far better education, my income prospects greatly improved, and life here is just ...easier. Mind you I left from NYC which is everything except easy. Still love NYC but will not go back to visit under these circumstances.
My wife and I fought actively for change on the local level. It changed nothing.

If there’s ever a way to take a history of everyone that gets grifted by this it will be fascinating and horrifying
I've considered leaving, but I'd need a good work from home job to do it
When do you think we'll see Americans jumping over a wall to get into Canada?
Fuck now ai have to vote for the anti-immigration party... /s

On one hand - great news. Fewer workers and potential conscripts for the US empire.
On the other hand - I don't think anyone wants even a single American more in their own country.
Side note - how on earth are other countries still respecting US driver's licenses?

While I certainly understand someone who feels threatened and doesn't want to become another cautionary tale about misjudging fascists capacity for murder, I'm concerned that the exodus of people who oppose the regime just further solidifies their hold.
It also increases the risk for those left behind who can't leave.
If you're leaving because you expect to die if you stay, then godspeed to you. If you're leaving because you'd rather go someplace where you can pretend it doesn't affect you, then fuck you.
