Assuming you're in the LGBT spectrum ... sorry to say even there you might not be safe if Trump gets a second term. Things have softened for the LGB so those folks might be okay, but trans folks ... I'd be worried.
It also weakens purple states and national power when blue voters move out of purple states... Personally, I'd highly encourage folks moving to purple states to turn them more blue.
Michigan or Pennsylvania might be a good choice. I keep holding out for Ohio, but we need to give the gerrymandering issues (hopefully we finally will this year).
As a trans person in a deep blue state, I'm hoping my state's politics give me just enough buffer time that I can find a way to GTFO before the gestapo comes for me
Yeah, nowhere is confirmed safe. Fascism is attempting to ascend. Welcome to the 1930s, get a passport and fill a backpack with non perishable calorie dense food.
Living in Ohio with my trans husband, we're moving to Vermont this summer to get away from it all. I feel like I'm shirking my duty by taking our votes with us, but we really don't want to be here come November. Ohio has gone to Trump two for two, and I'm not feeling lucky on number three.
Do what's right for you and your partner, and then we can all continue to work on community, state, and country!!!
I'll miss your vote, but I totally get it. Stay safe!
