    That sounds great! I wish you all the best and much success!

    Yes, I also think that Trump and his MAGA people are doing long-lasting damage. But that’s also true: they and all the idiots who voted for them had it coming. I still feel sorry for the decent US citizens.

    As a German, I’m most afraid that the AfD, a terrible party very similar to the MAGA-GOP, might come to power in our country at some point. Fortunately, this is somewhat unlikely, but if it happens, it will probably be the same for us.

      My however many greats grandfather came over on the Mayflower in 1620. He too had to leave England and then the Netherlands even when it was hard, looking for a place for his family to have a future he believed in. I feel sad but I also think all things change and he would understand why I’m leaving.

      I hope your country takes the threat more seriously than we did. There are a lot of broken hearts in America right now.

        Ok so one of my ancestors did that, too, and it’s more accurate to describe it as:

        He was forced to leave England (because he was the equivalent of a MAGA back then) and then willingly left the Netherlands when they weren’t religious enough for him, either, looking for a place for his family to suppress the religious rights of others

        It sucks, but that’s what the Pilgrims were about, hardcore religious oppression for everyone
