The 2024 GQP Thread: Because Deutsche Gopher Fan ENDED the Last One

Both things will be true at the same time. It will be both a perfect America with Dump as Fuhrer for Life and also a terrifying hellscape where we are riddled with subversives and racial enemies to the Fatherland where we need Dump as Fuhrer for Life.

It's like when we needed tax cuts because we had a budget surplus but then the deficit exploded so in order to prime the economy we needed tax cuts. Start with the answer and work backwards to the problem.

For us, 2026 is the decider for whether we stay. If America decides it’s a fascist state, we’re going to start officially exploring options

I already started...problem is most of the places I can get citizenship in either wont let me because they hate women (Poland) or you wouldn't want to go to at this point. (Russia, Ukraine, Israel) I think I am too far removed from Germany to make that work...

The SO is a different story but still not great...

Work Visas are a thing in some of the places we looked but seeing as we are both teachers the pay is usually not great.

My wife keeps hinting at this, and so far I've remained in denial based on the fact that I know neither of us have any easy ways in. Ireland requires a grandparent, and all of my Irish ancestors arrived before the American Civil War (not sure about hers). Germany and France only accept first-gen foreign borns. Canada is the most conservative of all, you have to be first-gen and your parents must be natural borns. Otherwise, the only route is the lengthy naturalization process.

If we end up having to do it, the best thing we have going is that I have expertise in an in-demand tech niche and could presumably be sponsored for a work visa. The bad news is, the rest of the world has been catching up recently as more offshore resources are upskilling to meet demand.
 
There are places that have pretty lacks work visa requirements...especially when compared to Canada or the UK/EU.
 
My SOs mom has a friend that moved to Portugal. The residency requirements are kind of funny. I dont know the particulars but since she is on a visa of some sort she has to leave the country for like a month or two every year or 18 months. Then she can re-up and do it all over again. So she has a home there, and she just takes a long vacation every year. Very easy to get places and travel costs aren't that bad.
 
I'm leaning Italy myself. First, it's Italy. Great food, great weather, gorgeous landscapes. And cheap living, if you're not in the usual tourist traps.

Home of the greatest bike race in the world, and only a train ride away from the greatest cycling classic races in Belgium.

And these days, their fascism pales in comparison to ours.

Have I ever mentioned that my wife is 1/4 Syrian? Her dad was the product of a vengeful affair her grandma had with a baker at the restaurant she worked at because her husband was an abusive, philandering drunk.

Just fun to note, because Syria sure as fuck does us no good! :ROFLMAO:
 
I’m looking at Australia as an RN. My god the number of fucking loopholes, even though they streamlined the process, is ridiculous.

Democrats winning back the House enough for you? (Almost) no chance they win back the Senate.
 
I made the move to Germany during Trump's first term and I don't regret it at all.

The first year was difficult in that you can't prepare for what you don't know - and I thought I was fully prepared. It was hard but after that, you settle in to life. Currently, you can get dual citizenship after five years, which is new.

Get your college degree certified by the ZAB and you'll have an easier time getting a job over here - but be prepared for it to be harder than you expect until you've landed something. I had to save up quite a bit and started by freelance teaching English before I landed a role at an international company. It's been smooth sailing ever since.

I came over on a 90 day tourist visa but knew I could get a job freelancing english. I went the first 75 days searching for jobs before settling on joining two companies and applying for a freelancer visa.

However, they've now introduced qualified job seeker visas that are good for up to a year if you can prove you have the financial means to support yourself until you find a job.

Moving here now is so much easier for educated Americans than it was 7 years ago.
