Ignoring it.
Bought a farm a few years back in northern Europe, it's beautiful, wife and kid moved, I'm communiting.
If shit hits the fan I'll be there, but some part of me has faith in my country, and even if the trash take over, I think we'll somehow survive.
Wife is thrilled to be out, kid is doing great. It's basically America but better, except without Amazon.
Besides, I survived the south, and I was a kid back then. I've seen their bigotry naked when they were strong and I was weak, i have no fear for them anymore. And if civil war does break out? I am an extraordinary engineer, particularly when it comes to military drones. Parry that with your crappy ar15 you filthy casual.
It helps knowing you literally can make a difference if you absolutely have to, so I recommend picking up a useful skill if you didn't during covid.
I left Canada when the politics started to mirror that of America's. Went to Europe, and while there are a lot of problems here as well (an increasing amount to boot), I'm happier overall.
Around 2008, basically all the Texans who screwed up US politics saw their gravy train ending and ran north to exploit Alberta's new oil.
I'm sorry, but it's like apologizing for locusts.
