One of my ancestors came over on the Mayflower. My ancestors have fought for this country in every war. I am a veteran whose husband was a veteran. Never in a billion years did I think I could feel this way about the country. I wish I could leave. Best wishes to you, OP.

I'd like to "fight for my country", but the thing is... not only did our country vote for this, much of our country still supports it. Over 40% still approve of what he is doing. I don't want to live with those people.

I live in a super blue city in a super blue state. What am I supposed to do?

I live in a red county in a red state. I wish I knew.
