If I were you, I'd leave the US, because it's going to get very, very bad. You don't have to suffer through this if you don't want it, since you're not responsible for this shitshow. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you good luck; it's going to be a wild ride for all of us.
It's not always an option for people. Right now nobody is accepting Americans because of Covid, but for regular working class people it's nearly impossible to emigrate unless you have some sort of familial connections abroad. I have no family abroad and my skills aren't in high enough demand to justify accepting me as an immigrant for most countries. A shit ton more people who will be disproportionately affected will not have the choice to leave either.
But sorry, even though I would like to help any American migrant I could if the borders were open, my government does not take refugees from shithole countries.
I've thought about trying to join a couple of friends who are living and working in Japan, but I've lived abroad before and I really missed my friends and family back here. I think I've somewhat made my peace with suffering with my community over escape, but I have a feeling there are no good choices right now, unless you have WAY more money than I do.
I can’t tell sometimes which is why I had the “if”. I hear people saying shit like this legitimately, but yeah you are right. People can’t just leave the US.

What's even amazing right now is due to out completely inept "strategy" of dealing with the Pandemic, you can't even do this right now.
I think the southern border is open, you could probably sneak onto Canada and declare financial/pandemic refugee status.
You could maybe come to Canada and try to live here illegally, but that's gonna be rough.
Trudeau in 4 months: "We need the southern wall to stop the diseased American refugee hordes from illegally crossing the boarder."

I really sympathize with you.

Uh, let me be clear, you need to stay and fight.

I hope this is sarcasm because if not this is fucked, you’re essentially implying the rest were stupid and deserved what they got for it.

No I'm implying op is stupid for telling people to stay and fight when getting out is obviously the preferable option if you have the means to do so.
This is the bullshit my Russian Jewish zionist family believes. Do fucking better chud.
not possible for US passport holders to get a visa for Japan right now without extenuating circumstances
Yeah, I know. I was somewhat idly thinking about doing it in the future when travel is allowed again.
Not gonna lie, Ireland is looking pretty sweet right now...
Its unfortunate that I (an American) cannot travel there (they're closed to American tourist still right?).
