    Part of the reason why I am getting my daughters citizenship abroad. One day, I hope that day never ever comes, they might need it.

        My wife holds dual citizenship and her country has many ex-pats so they have right of return laws.

        Next month we have an appointment with the embassy with her country as well as the interviews. I also have them in a class where they are learning the language of her country.

        It depends on the country, but many are just time based. We moved by getting work and education visas and are renewing them until we can apply for residency, then citizenship. Luckily we’ve been planning this for over a decade and we had managed to save up and plan… I’ve personally seen several people try to do the same and had to return to the US for financial reasons. It’s heartbreaking.

      I recently thought about that, but realized that if America falls, it will totally screw Europe, much of South America, and probably Canada. Russia and China both have hopes to colonize Europe and many of the countries surrounding china.

      In short, I think it’s best I stay here and vote for all those countries that depend on us and can’t vote in our elections. Keeps everywhere else stable and safe by extension.

        I personally don’t plan to leave, because I am not in any real danger. Fuck yeah it’s great to be a hetro male on top of the racial-ethic pyramid. 10/10 would recommend.

        It’s my multiracial daughters who could be in danger. We are like one bad election way from Republic of Gilead. So yeah I am preparing for the worst, hoping for the best. Have enough money saved up that I can get them on airplane out, keep the passports up-to-date, and working on making sure they got citizenship in my wife’s home country. As for what they would do when they get there my wife’s family well-off, is big, and loves them.
