As someone who is trans and fled the United States recently because of the political situation- The psychic damage from constantly being exposed to mass shootings and other attacks is real and it does affect quality of life and I think it’s rude as hell to paint people as cowards for wanting to emigrate.

I didnt see the comment you replied to before it got deleted but i can kinda guess what it was since ive seen similar sentiment before. I appreciate you replying to it for me. The whole thing kinda baffles me. Arent leftists supposed to be pro-immigration? My grandparents werent even born here. They left a place my ancestors lived for thousands of years, and im supposed to stick around in this horrible place we've only been in for like 50 years? Why?

People will tell me like i need to "stay and fight for a better America." Like why the fuck would i do that? I might be American on paper (for now) but culturally i am not. I hate this place. The people i love arent American for the most part. I don't celebrate the same holidays as most Americans. I dont eat the same foods as them.

The geographical location of your birth does not and should not dictate who you are, and what you can do. Period.

the other part of it was that it's a privilege to be able to leave, which i think stands but calling folks cowards for getting out definitely isn't appropriate.

my net worth is literally negative and i live below the poverty line lmao thats so funny. Im just betting on getting a job in China once i get a degree and never coming back to the US so i don't have to pay back student loans.
