And its just an exercise of academics for me since I'm too old and not rich.. not even what you'd call somewhat well off...for any country to accept me. My only hope is some decent countries offer those of us asylum. I'm old, not Christian, with a gender fluid grandson living with us. I can see trump et alia taking our SS leaving us nothing, I can also see signs of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s rearing it's ugly head again. And don't put hands to my grandson. Half the time I'm convincing him not to suicide for the harassment he already gets. I'm not gonna see it get worse for him. If there was anywhere decent we could start over we would. In a heartbeat.
