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.

    I’d aim for countries that have few American immigrants, like Eastern Europe, South America, anywhere but Thailand and Japan in Asia… Of course avoid those actively hostile to Americans.

    Alternatively somewhere English-speaking so you’d barely stand out - Canada, UK, Australia

    Actually most countries in the world have little American immigration. Avoid Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, Japan, most small Caribbean countries (I guess). The stereotypical “expat” places.

    It’s like any kind of immigration. A small number is always welcome, but once many immigrants of the same origin come you get social cohesion issues.
