    I hope it works out for you and thank you for the advice. I'll definitely be looking into it. And yeah, not to be overly doomer, but I'm not really sure how conditions in the US can improve from a leftist perspective. The right wing is off the deep end and the libs are too busy punching left to mount any kind of reasonable push back. Plus, I'm LGBT and things are starting to seem very sketchy here in the states again.

      Yeah I'm an older gay/trans masc and I don't want to have my future here. I'm gay and I want safety, cheap apartment, no car, and eat hot chip.

      Part of me thinks that there is hope long term- but it will only come after violent bloodshed and balkanization. There are leftist movements among black and brown communities, but those movements will not be televised. Some areas will be more stable than others, but I don't think it's "doomer" to assume that we're in for a bloodbath. I mean , looking at all the shootings, it's already started.

      I think people are going to continue being in denial until the next presidential election- then it's open fash time.

      If you can't get out, there is plenty of time to prepare and build community. A lot of my friends have formed mutual aid networks and communes with older, wiser, gays. I'd recommend reaching out to local orgs. It helps!
