I live in a blue shithole and I'm looking to get out. It's still a step above Commieforina but the writing is on the wall. We're going to be a mini San Francisco 20 years ago from now. It should go without saying that I don't vote blue now and I sure as shit won't start when I flee this dystopia.
I'm looking for suggestions on where to move to. Good gun laws and a reasonable cost of living (especially in real estate) are the two big things I'm looking for. I'm planning to work remotely so I won't need to stay where the work is if things go to plan. Ideally I'd buy a plot of land in the middle of nowhere and build on it, but my need for internet access will restrict how far away from the nonsense I can get. I suspect parts the South would be a good cultural fit as long as they're okay with me not being actively religious, but I don't deal with heat and humidly very well.
Reminder: don't dox yourself.
Yeah, I'm being vague about my current situation for that reason. People in this thread are sharing way more than what I'd be comfortable sharing but I appreciate the help everyone is giving.
I think a lot of the internet heebie-jeebies is unwarranted. I'm in Seattle they can come get me ;/
Most of these identifiers include millions of people. Don't be so paranoid. Don't dox yourself ofc
