Pretty much. Mainly this situation has made me realize that I want to leave the country, partially (moving myself, but visiting often perhaps) if not wholly as I suspect I’ll always be tied down here in some level- I have family and friends here, and I’m part of a polycule (of 3, but still), etc.
If I were American, or not tied down in various ways, I’d be seeking to leave even more urgently- but as-is I suspect having an out will already be deeply important for the future, because I expect things might become outright dangerous in time for people like myself- but also, because this country is headed towards economic and political turmoil and destruction on so many levels, and frankly even if I didn’t tick all those boxes I’d consider it a good idea to get the hell out for those reasons as well.
