I'm looking over my options in fleeing for safety as things get worse down here. I am considering joining friends in Oregon but that might not safe enough. I'm gay, atheist, have a college degree (not in anything useful, however), and am everything the nazi's down here hate.

I need to get out.

I know you guys are justifiably pissed at us Americans right now, but if I were to try and move to Canada (and I have no idea how I could possibly do such a thing in time) would I be welcomed there? Would I be safe? Or would I be seen as an aggressor or threat of some sort?

I need to get out of here but if it means going somewhere everyone will hate me I might not be any better off.

Ohio had nazis parading around in Columbus before the election. Literal, swastica flag waving, nazis.

Dayton survives almost solely due WPAFB and military contractors as far as i can tell, and with that comes a heavy republican presence and nationalism from retirees (and their family) who never left the area after getting out.

Much of the rest of ohio is either agriculture, shipping/transportation, or former industry that hasnt quite fully died yet.

It hasn't been a true swing state in quite some time. And a place to live hasn't been cheap either (unless you like roaches or mold)
