I feel for you. I'm a German American dude married into a family of Salvadoreños and we have illegals in our circle of friends/family. Very few of my family members are taking this seriously or treating it with the level of concern it deserves. People just don't have the capacity to understand unmitigated corruption and evil. Most people have something that stops them from being shitlords, whether it's their god, some sort of moral compass, a desire to be liked by others, or whatever. Trump and company don't have that at all. It's pure evil and corruption to the core. It will not be pretty when these two groups and their goals clash.
I hope you can eventually find your way to a blue state, but I'm honestly not even sure that's enough when they're planning on sending national guardsmen from red states into blue states to do their bidding. Couple that with the fact that elections are effectively over in this country and it paints a horrifying picture for the country and the rest of the world.
I've had thoughts about checking out that I can't share with family or really even online for the sake of triggering others and for fear of giving the thoughts credibility in my mind. I have a wife and two young kids that depend on me, so I suppose I will do my best. Their German passports arrive this week and we leave shortly before inauguration day.
Trump's tariffs will wreck Europe's economy. Refugees from Ukraine will come pouring in. AfD will continue to make gains in Germany. CDU will probably win the snap elections that are coming after Scholz loses his vote of confidence. They'll eventually work with AfD as voter pressure ramps up and thus give AfD credibility in the coming years.
I'd still take my chances with Germany rather than stay within the USA.
