Is this the reason why there's an exodus from the USA?

I've heard that even citizens who don't want to put up with the fact that it's expensive as f*ck and living paycheck to paycheck (which is something that American people who continue think like this: "everything is going to be fine" denounce and play off when the reality reflects otherwise), which explains why they would leave (the country) when given the opportunity.

Besides politics: has the overall culture (within American society) shifted into people being overly entitled or ignorant more than they used to be? The distrust they literally have over the person next to them (even if they're friends for years) due to their hyper individualistic mindsets, despite them not bringing up political or controversial topics in their conversations.

I have only heard of the migration from blue states to red, do you mean the self-deporters?

You feeling that corporate "squeeze" yet? Sucks, doesn't it?

We are all that proverbial frog being slowly boiled alive for at least 60 years.

It has only been 6 months since Trump took over as President.

There are years worth of ♥♥♥♥-ups from the Biden Administration that need to be fixed. Rome wasn't built in a day.

And let's not forget the Liberals aren't exactly willing to help him fix any of it, either.

I can tell you this for sure ... if a Liberal ever becomes President again I will be finding a new country to live in. The insanity needs to stop after Joe Biden ended his Presidency.

Its usually best to make your fortune in america then move to cheap country when done working.

There are too many people here already. So if there is an "exodus from the USA", fine by me.

Think ireland would be better pick or french countryside

Would be a shame if anyone who left the US were to get drafted in some pointlessly escalated war the moment they step aboard their supposed new residence.

And in six months, Trump has done way more damage to the country than Biden ever did.

my advice to anyone thinking of moving to a new country is you will be absolutely miserable if you don't already know people in that country. you can try to interact people but you have A LOT of hurdles to overcome. i visited a friend in China for a few months and there was 1 week where she had to go away for work and it was just me and I've never felt more alone in my life than that experience.

We're basically in a second Gilded Age, nothing to worry about. We're be back in the Roaring 20s in maybe the 2030s or 2040s, lol.

I've actually been thinking about it myself. So, I'm the ideal person to respond to this.

America is no longer the "Land of Opportunity". The wealthy control everything. The government, pricing, and all properties. Women expect every man to be a 10/10.

What is there for me here? Nothing.

Yes.

I've grown apart from my friends because they've been radicalized by leftist beliefs. They refuse to accept any viewpoint that isn't 100% progressive.
