Its solidly blue and will likely stay that way.
Nonetheless, we dont think well stay in the U.S. if Trump regains the presidency. He, his followers and his henchmen are too dangerous and evil. They will transform this country if they get the chance. We dont want to be a part of that.
Were not rich but were comfortable financially. Our vague plan is to sell everything and move to one of the countries that have so-called golden visas whereby you can get fast-tracked for dual citizenship if you buy a home and have your own healthcare. I recognize that this is not an option for many people.
I cannot imagine living here if the country goes full- MAGA.
