I know places like Portugal and Spain are going through serious housing crunches right new and I know expats often exaggerate those problems. So where can an American flee oppression without just oppressing someone else?

For context: I’m a progressive lefty, thinking about long term relocation options cause the fash is getting pretty thick around here.

    It depends

    In Australia, we’re happy to have people come here who will contribute to our society

    Trump supporters aren’t liked here, and we have great sympathy for people moving here from 'Murica to get away from the bullshit

    My fiancée is from the US, and we’re working on her visa

    There are amazing opportunities here, particularly if you are interested in living outside of the big cities like Melbourne and Sydney

      That’s the general consensus I’ve (we’ve) experienced so far as well. Ex federal US employee, now employed in Brisbane. We couldn’t be more grateful for the acceptance we’ve received
