26. I already know friends and family that have LEFT US in just the last year....and more leaving for good

A young family I know, all US citizens, they are working on moving away.
Got a new baby coming soon.

Their Reasons:

USA is now full of HATE. Trump and Republicans seem all ok with widespread bigotry and hatred towards large sections of the US population.
The standard of living in the US is just fair,
Other nations have a far better standard of living.
Other nations have far happier populations.
Other nations have better health care systems, inexpensive.
Other nations have a FANTASTIC standard of living and support for families.
Other nations have a FANTASTIC standard of living for elderly and retired.

No place is perfect.
But the US has, and is turning into a cesspool of hate towards others.
The US Supreme Court is extremely biased and corrupt now,
The FBI is now extremely corrupt and controlled by Trump wackos.
The US govt is extremely corrupt and controlled by Trump wackos.

USA, It’s now a repeat of Nazi Germany in mid-1930s,
And appears it’s getting worse by the day.

Who wants to stay here for that?
