    Started looking for places to move to in 2017 because we lived in a red state and the writing was on the wall. Settled on the Netherlands and moved in 2019. Getting through covid was a bitch and I’d feel a lot better if the Dutch hadn’t also just elected a right wing nut job, but my mental and physical health are noticeably better. Once you get out you really realize how toxic American culture is. It’s like swimming downstream from a mine your whole life and then suddenly getting air lifted to some Icelandic spring.
