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.
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
