She’s a US citizen and white. You bet you could be next, no matter how insulated you think you are

I moved to Mexico when Trump was elected the first time. I was being proactive in ensuring my safety (I’m a white red head. It was not my race that made me feel unsafe. It was my politics.)

But the Mother Fucker is now about to start a war with Latin America leaving me vulnerable. You can’t run from MAGA level of hatred and greed. Trump’s evil has reach people don’t understand. I know it is old to keep referring to Hitler, but that man created world wide trama and sorrow. Trump is Hitler reincarnated.

As an Australian, I will say we are uniquely structured geographically to avoid most of the BS.

ngl if I had a better degree (like science/math) Australia would def be the place I'd be looking at to immigrate too. Sadly all I have is an Animation degree and work retail :/

Considering I got so roundly rejected while looking for an animation job for 8 years, I'm just afraid on top of the global unrest happening right now they won't see a use for me. I'm sure a lot of other (and richer) people are having this same thought too. And I worry about my mom because I know she won't move with me and she's getting older and I know she'll need my help (like physically). Worst comes to worst, I'll keep it in mind.

Try not having a degree at all. I’m 44 with a long and impressive resume, but no degree. That’s a nonstarter for immigration to Aus or NZ. ☹️
