to vote out Trump. After the (no matter what the result) I am 99% likely to renounce. I will double-taxed (I make that much income now, and the double taxation scheme has nothing to do with Trump, and it will not change under Biden or any other POTUS down the road, and I will be fucked if I help fund endless empiric wars and parts of the government that want to eradicate people like me ) and now (as I do NOT see the SCOTUS being expanded, too many Dems have said they are against it in the Senate) I fear if I did ever come back, it would be to a nation that no longer recognises my marriage, plus dog knows whatever additional civil rights rollbacks (I am the trifecta, a mixed race partially black cis gendered female married lesbian.)
I loved my couple of years in Los Angeles a few years ago, but the quality of life here (Sweden and before that, the UK, where I was raised) is overall just better for what we want out of life. The percentage of violent, radical, hateful, ignorant, racist, misogynistic, homophobic people is staggeringly higher in the US than over here. I inherited a wickedly bad temper from mummy (she is Bajan, my father Swedish) and my mouth or actions in a bad confrontation with a rando MAGAt type might end up with me and/or wifey shot or beat senseless. It just is not shaping up to be worth the hassle.
Maybe I will have a change of heart, but I seriously doubt it. Time will tell.
