Would be nice but you can't simply move to any other country you want. Other countries have enacted similar stupid immigration laws just like the US. There isn't a single country where US citizens can just move (except the US of course). It's like a curse. The orange in the WH would need to do something really f'ed for other countries to accept american asylum applications. personally I wish I could just bag and go

It's great when people on your side of the border hate you because you support human rights, and people on the other side of the border hate you because of where you were born and lived untill recently.

Also simultaneously being told "you should just leave your shit hole country" from one group of people and also "you should stay and fix your own stupid country before you try and ruin others"

Basically "fuck you for existing, now go die quietly so we can get on with our lives"

And don't even get me started on any sort of minority group and how shitty they have it here. Can't even walk to the corner store without looking over their shoulder for ICE or some other thug law enforcement.
