This is the first real honest attempt I've made at fleeing the country. I have a contact near the Canadian border, only about 3 hours from me by car, that's willing to host me until I get on my feet. My first visit will be in January.

I wish luck to you and anybody doing the same. It seems to me like it could benefit Canada to accept the people the US loses. It won’t exactly be the trumpers and domestic terrorists knocking at the door.

I have pretty deep family roots where I am, and I was born into demographics acceptable to the incoming regime, so I probably won’t be going anywhere for now. But it is going to suck watching people get hurt and the country decomposing no matter where I live.

There should be some community-led resource centres to help as well, depending on where you're headed. I know there's been a lot of talk and early organizing on this side to help resource people who need to get out.

That being said, I imagine certain blue states should still be okay for a couple years at least if that's easier.

I've tried a few things and all have ended up dead ends.. I'm stuck :(
