I can’t help where I’m from, but I can control where I end up at least. Took my family back to the UK a few years ago, since we’ve only been Americans for a generation or so. Reason being, I don’t have much hope that the US can improve materially without a full-on regime change - I think obviously the American system contained the seeds of its own destruction from the outset, but the final straw (pardon the mixed metaphor) was Citizens United, which ended up being basically golden handcuffs for all elected officials. Only they can reverse it, and they won’t because it’s their money. It would take some eucatastrophe to undo all that, so I’ll just have to take to the streets elsewhere when the time comes.

I will welcome all american sisters and brothers with open arms.
