We have federalism in this country so states still have a good deal amount of power.Quite a few states are blue and are able to enact anti-republican policies at the state level.The MAGAs dont have control over all 50 states.Maybe the OP should go to a blue state that has a lower cost of living like New Mexico maybe.Maybe try New Mexico, OP.


Oklahoma is not a blue state. And I can't afford to move.

Right, so then what? If you can't even afford to move to a different state, then you're definitely not going to be able to move to a new country. As bad as things are in a lot of ways in the US, we're not exactly at the point where other countries are organizing refugee flights for asylum seekers.

I've moved overseas and to get a work visa there's a fair amount of rules and there's likely to be requirements about having a plane ticket back home already, and certain bank account levels to ensure that you're able to go when you're done. On top of that, even when you do get a job, it can take a period to get paid, and working overseas may not be the most stable thing, depending upon the specifics of where you're talking about and what you're planning on doing.

And when I get there, then what? Where am I going to live? How will I afford the high rent over there?
