If you could choose to move outside the US, would you? (sh.itjust.works)

And if you'd decide to leave, where would you go?

Context for why I'm asking: I'm trans and currently live in Minnesota, I moved here from Florida so I have some idea of how miserable big moves can be. I can get EU citizenship which makes me very lucky, but... Do I sit here and hope Minnesota can protect me from 🥭 or do I try to build a life somewhere else, again?

I've a tentative job offer to move overseas, but I'm hesitant because it would be rough for close friends and family.

America is done, but a part of me feels I should stay and go down with the ship, attempting to do whatever positive things I can in my local community.

I'm torn.

On the flip side, if you did go and your friends/family felt more of a push to go (maybe things get worse) you could be a bridge for others to have an easier time coming to Europe. Just a thought but I understand moving yourself would also be challenging. I have experience with it so I'm aware
