truly shocking. Who'd have thunk treating a demographic like shit and taking away all their rights would cause them to leave!?

And yet enabled by other women

Yes, 55 Percent of White Women Voted for Trump. No, I’m Not Surprised.
It’s time to stop coddling white women when they bolster white supremacy, and to push for concrete acts of solidarity.
Yeah, I get why women don't want to live here, particularly in states that have banned abortion. It's fucked up, and I don't fault them for abandoning their country.
I do hope enough of us keep fighting, though.
I know, right? That's obviously not how people really behave!
The real shocker is the number of people who don't.
This is our home, not their home. Fuck the fascists.
We aren't all cowards like the people in charge.
Weird, I wonder why? 🫠
Yeah, I would too if I went on a road trip across the country and gained and lost human rights as I crossed state borders.
I wouldnt mind moving out of the US.
I'm not a woman but it's been my dream for years. Now that I have a child it's my goal to help him escape.
I have a good American friend here in Germany who has a great chance of getting a permanent status and later citizenship. She's already pretty good at German after 2 years and was offered a permanent local contract. She told me last week she's probably not taking the offer and going back to the US because she earns more and pays less taxes there. I asked about healthcare cost and all she talked about was how contraception was completely free in her american insurance and she has a copay here, how much less taxes she paid and she didn't like how the German law handles paternity issues (it's harder to get out of your obligations if your wife cheated and the kid isn't yours).
It was so weird. So many American women wish they were in her position and all she talked about was going back to the US due to paternity laws and the 10€ copay on her contraception which made her really angry for some reason.
she didn't like how the German law handles paternity issues (it's harder to get out of your obligations if your wife cheated and the kid isn't yours).
Major red flag for her partner lol
I don't believe this would be a major opinion by any woman I have ever known. This is likely a fictitious post.
Why? She thinks it should be more in favor of the man and he should be able to easily up and leave anytime after finding out the kid isn't his.
I guess... But why even care about that unless you plan to cheat? I feel like most people would never even know that's a thing. There's really only one reason someone would look that up.
People be stupid, yo! I decided in 1999 I'd never again set foot on US soil because I'd rather pay higher taxes and have a sane society around me.
And now I pay lower taxes than a USAnian and have a sane society around me.
Don't you miss it sometimes, not living in constant fear that someone with an AR15 could have a bad day near you or your loved ones?
I never did have that fear. I've never lived in the USA.
Now if things get much hotter I might have a minor niggling fear that a US bomb will drop on my head, but for now not even Trump and his coterie are stupid enough to let things get that far.
People are emotional creatures.
People also don't seem to accept that you often get something for paying taxes. Infrastructure, schools, food inspectors, whatever.
Yikes. Does she wear a MAGA hat? She sounds like the type.
No, actually she worked on one of Kamala Harris' campaigns and proudly wears the campaign tshirt. Which is why her attitude confused me so much. I'm not sure what's going on with her other than that even a well educated American can still have a lot of indoctrination and believe the American way is always the best way.
Leftist groups in China have learned not to engage with American leftist groups since the 2020 Pride fiasco in Shanghai. American groups always act as if they know better than locals what local conditions are, what local culture will or will not tolerate, and what tactics will or will not work under local conditions. The LGBT community spent decades on patient diplomacy winning all kinds of victories (like queer sex being removed from criminal law and queerness being removed as a mental disorder) for themselves. Then in 2009 they got persuaded by American LGBT groups to hold Pride events. And when that didn't get stomped, to get more and more confrontational and strident in them.
Until in 2020 the authorities had had enough and stomped. Hard. Undoing at least three decades of the patient diplomacy in the process.
Now leftist groups in China do the polite "nod, smile, ignore" cycle when told by Americans how to run their affairs.
To anyone who truly feels this way, please consider coming to Australia.
We aren’t perfect, but we will damned sure treat you a lot better than the US has.
Chinese in Australia are reporting differently.
My comment was explicitly towards those disenfranchised within the US, who would face no issue with assimilating into Australian society and culture.
Just for the record: 我老婆是中国人，所以我了解澳大利亚的种族歧视问题。
Can’t imagine why…. So odd…
If you're educated or have a Department of Labor recognized skilled labor certificate (for example Union Apprenticeship) GTFO of the USA.
Well at least somebody is paying attention.
If this is a suprise you're a fucking idiot
Makes sense, I'm mostly just trying to determine where to go at this point.
Heyo, I've been living abroad over a decade, let me know if you have any questions about how to do it.
Who can blame them? From what I've seen out of young men and the rise of the "red pill" culture, women are more objectified than ever IMO
I am highly educated, but I’m a single parent. That seems to pretty much tank my worth across the board.
Is that actually true for you in America?
So far you sound like a catch. Good conversation and no more diapers? Awesome!!!!
Yeah it’s a pretty big dealbreaker for a lot of people. Even if kids are grown and independent. Fair enough.
Its been my experience that the most interesting person is someone that has stuff to do. Things going on...
Saw a Fox News version of this article. The comments were nauseating 🤮
I looked it up. Won't post a link here, but "Fox" in the search with OP's title and it comes right up.
The amount of pure cope in the comments is astounding. If 40% of the young women actually did leave, they wouldn't be so cheery about it.
Hello, fellow woman who left the USA back in March o7
Fuck USA, the EU has been amazing so far! Lol
Small correction: I've never lived in the USA (though I came close to making that fatal mistake in 1999). I've lived in ... ah ... well ... many countries, but my citizenship is Canadian.
And yeah, Europe is a really nice place to live. I finished my secondary schooling in Europe and it was like going to school in Disneyland for me.
That is literally a bullet dodged and a half. Europe has been feeling like a whole new world, one that makes sense and we don’t feel in danger. That does make it a Disney land huh? Lol
For us we were born in the USA and it always felt like we were trapped. Born raised and lived in poverty. Being disabled didn’t help at all either. We worked for a while and we finally able to move with the help of our significant other. We’re still trying to get permanent residency but you will not see us in the USA any time soon.
Hi folks, I've been living abroad for 15 years-ish. If you're curious about leaving the US, please ask your questions here or in the Travel community.
Living abroad costs about $500 USD per month in most countries.
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
