If I want to have plans to actually leave the United States in the next four years, where should I be looking? I have hereditary Lithuanian citizenship so I might be able to get myself in the Schengen Area with that alone but I'm lucky enough to have expertise in an unspecified industrial technology, with the caveat that I am transgender.

Right now my two choices seem to be European (Germany?) or somewhere in E Asia (Vietnam, PRC). How realistic are either of these options, namely Vietnam or the PRC.

You could probably get into Germany if you can get a work visa. But be prepared that the German language sucks ass and we'll have the same problems as the US but 10 years later...

Oh cool, glad to hear you're getting Victoria 2 in a week.

On a more serious note, would it even be worth it? Frankly just looking for a place where I can settle in a city with better worker's protections and healthcare; cool culture and stuff to do helps but you can find that basically anywhere.

here in england the healthcare is good, the workers protections aren't good, but better than america
we are kind of the terf capital of the world though, and the tories are, well, tories

Yeah, I've got the possibility of UK Citizenship if I pursue it, but frankly it just kind of seems like America with healthcare. Nice, might pursue it, but I'm at the dreaming stage right now and might as well see how far I can realistically go with it.

outside of politics, the weather is very mild, but a lot of days are overcast and grey, we don't do air conditioning and our buildings are made to retain heat, so the 3 weeks of hot weather per year is terrible, none of the wildlife is in any way dangerous and we don't have rabies

Isn't Bath a pretty leftist area?

Dunno, never been there, it has a reputation for being a bit posh though, so probably full of unicoms

It's fifty percent spa industry which caters to old people, and fifty percent students. Depending on which group you live closer to you might find it very welcoming or a bit shit.
