Each day brings more reasons for why we may extend our stay outside the US to a permanent one. So much more at ease here in the EU.

We have only limited ties to US as it is, I was born in Los Angeles but my family moved back to the UK when I was still a baby. My wife was not even born in the US. We have been back on and off for a couple years, now are gone again as I am reading for my PhD here in the EU. IF Rump wins in 2020, we are so out for good, as the SCOTUS will probably end up 7-2 or even 8-1 (if Sotomayor's bad diabetes does her in) HARD RW for decades unless we somehow pull back the Senate whilst losing the EC, which seems highly unlikely.

The Rethugs want to role back ALL civil rights gains post Brown v. Board, and probably will try to roll even Brown back. Like hell if I am going to live in a nation that will be in constant motion in RW legal/political interlocked spheres trying to nullify our marriage.
