If I was still an American (I gave up my citizenship after Dubya shat the USA Patriot Act) and part of an at-risk group - and there are many - I would seriously consider emigrating at this point.
Don’t do like the jews who stayed in Germany after 1933 thinking it can’t get any worse: it will get worse and you don’t want to be stuck in the US when it’s too late to leave.
that sounds like you’re talking about permanent immigration.
another easy way to permanently immigrate is to move a place on a tourist or digital nomad visa, and then stay there legally or otherwise until you’re allowed to apply for citizenship.
spain and portugal require about $40,000 a year for their digital nomad visas.
The thing is, it’s even easier to move without changing citizenship and you can still stick it to the US government.
if you don’t change citizenship, and you live outside of the US 11 months out of the year, you don’t have to pay taxes on earned income. so you’re not supporting the current administration.
The cheapest golden visa is $75,000 for the whole family in the Philippines, btw, not 500k.
I still wouldn’t pay that.
I travel full time, you can easily get 3 to 6 month visas in a bunch of countries, Visa-Free travel in the others, live permanently abroad, legally avoid US taxes and enjoy a much lower cost of living in countries that aren’t tearing themselves and their constitution apart.
I lived in many countries. The one I went to when I left the US was the UK. But it was in Europe back then. I would never move there now.
Because AFIAK, there only a few ways
You missed mine 🙂 I had dual citizenship. I simply gave one up. I had to pay the extortion racket but other than that, that’s all I had to do.
Also, if you’re trans or not male or female (some people are born with extra X and Y chromosomes, which flies in the face of the administration’s idiotic male / female classification), you’ve basically become a non-person in the US. As such, I’m fairly sure you could make a convincing case for asylum in many European countries.
There are European countries that don’t allow you to have dual citizenship.
Most European countries also don’t give citizenship to people marrying someone from their country. For example, in Germany you have to live there for 3 years, pass a German citizenship test and pass a B1 language test. In the UK it’s pretty much the same, but the citizenship test is virtually impossible and the entire process costs a bloody fortune. And you don’t get your money back if you get rejected.
What about people who can’t relocate because they’re poor, don’t have dual citizenship, have nowhere to go, have felonies, etc?
We know it will get worse. Our persons are already owned by the US. We know the history and we’ve read their playbooks.
There’s no organization, no real solidarity, no strategy for opposition.
The people who think they’ll be safe from it won’t help us entrench, and people who already got out won’t help us get out.

Marrying someone means nothing. They’re taking people with green cards who are married to Americans and are making them disappear.

Remember that many jews said the same thing in Germany before the war, until they realized it really was time to get out of Dodge and they couldn’t.

Oh Lord. It’s amazing how many people are still complacent.
