Everytime I see news like this it makes me glad not to live in america
And if you americans can afford it you should consider becoming an expat and leaving america
Living overseas is my retirement plan, probably Portugal, I have lost faith in the American political system.

I wish we could afford to do it. Even looking at the low price expat groups, they are way to unaffordable for us, who have worked at restaurants and other crap jobs (even with degrees).

Unfortunately there is no "safe place" in the world. The US and EU used to be the most tolerant regions but now the tide has changed. Since nobody is protesting and people are already busy enough trying to make ends meet, it's better to just wait.

The US was never tolerant, the EU is still comparatively tolerant.
