I'm looking over my options in fleeing for safety as things get worse down here. I am considering joining friends in Oregon but that might not safe enough. I'm gay, atheist, have a college degree (not in anything useful, however), and am everything the nazi's down here hate.

I need to get out.

I know you guys are justifiably pissed at us Americans right now, but if I were to try and move to Canada (and I have no idea how I could possibly do such a thing in time) would I be welcomed there? Would I be safe? Or would I be seen as an aggressor or threat of some sort?

I need to get out of here but if it means going somewhere everyone will hate me I might not be any better off.

You kind of seem like you are spiraling based off of your additional comments, and may be overestimating the situation somewhat. You seem to be jumping from A to E and skipping through all the other, easier things you could do.

I’m aware I’m spiraling but there’s nothing I can do about it here. Getting mental health care is dangerous now as the Trump administration already said their end goal is to take psych patients and put them in work camps.

I lost access to health care when I lost my job a while back. When I got a new job when health coverage, Trump came to power and I now can’t risk using it. Even if it goes well, they medication could be taken away at any moment and I’ll have to go through a sudden withdrawl again. I’ll lose my job if that happens, which means I’ll be worse off than I am now.

I need to get myself in a situation where it is safe to care for myself.

I seriously can't tell if you are just trolling people. You seem to be making excuse after excuse, creating problems for yourself, and are showing poor risk assessment.

I’m not sure what you asking me to do. I can tell you I’m not trolling but a troll could do that just as easily.
