I struggle with this. The logistics of leaving are overwhelming, and part of me wants to stay and fight it out. Still, the damage to the U.S. won't likely be fixed in my lifetime (if ever), and I'm so done with the country of my birth. What would you do? sbee.link/xtmcp6vukd

Certainly an extremely tough decision to make. But for myself, I wouldn't begin to consider it sincerely until the 2026 elections are over and the new members of Congress are seated. The results then may very well show whether things may improve or are totally hopeless.
