looking to flee the red states below you (lemm.ee)

I'm looking over my options in fleeing for safety as things get worse down here. I am considering joining friends in Oregon but that might not safe enough. I'm gay, atheist, have a college degree (not in anything useful, however), and am everything the nazi's down here hate.

I need to get out.

I know you guys are justifiably pissed at us Americans right now, but if I were to try and move to Canada (and I have no idea how I could possibly do such a thing in time) would I be welcomed there? Would I be safe? Or would I be seen as an aggressor or threat of some sort?

I need to get out of here but if it means going somewhere everyone will hate me I might not be any better off.

I’m almost 40, only speak English, only have my bachelors. :(

Move to the bluest city & state you can get a job in. Then hunker down and either save hard or start studying something that will allow you to emigrate (medical&IT security are always on the list), or something that can be done fully remotely. You're a lot safer from a camp in a place where there are 100s of thousands of minorities. Not safe forever but it buys you time.

If you can get a job that can be done remotely you can get out to asia or south america asap.

I'd recommend Seattle, but the police here are problematic.

Seems like the NAFTA option is still open to you if you're a US citizen, or maybe you can get your masters in Canada if you can scrounge up the funds?
