In 2.5 years of living in Europe I have never seen a single car with a single sticker on the car of any kind expressing to the world the driver's political opinions. Not once. Not even something like those Coexist stickers. Nothing. I don't miss that about America at all, seeing cars just completely slathered with 200 different bumper stickers expressing every inane political opinion the driver has. I know this doesn't answer your question, but I can assume there are only a lot more of those these days.

I'm willing to listen, please explain.

Shaming people who leave the piece of land they were born in by random chance as if they owe it any sort of allegiance has less effect than you think, doubly so when it seems like you're admitting you left your own country yet are shaming others for doing the same in the same post.

You really are rolling back previous comments you've made if you really think only 1% of people on Earth will be affected in any way shape or form by Trump.

This guy wrote "If you moved halfway through the Biden administration or feel like you need to move now— you’re fleeing. You’re running away and your brain is being rotted by politics. " So I wouldn't take anything he says seriously.

I did move tho lmao. And you don't make sense - Leo has the money to move if he so chose - so he's spoiled? I thought you were defending him. Doesn't make sense.

LMAO the premise that everyone who leaves America is some sort of fleeing traitor is so unbelievably cucked.

Yeah - nothing about his comments on the matter seem balanced to me. They don't seem in sync with his previous criticism of Trump. Now he's just like, "eh nothing major will happen" even when so many major things have already occurred in only 2 months. It's, again, baffling. And when you have a successful internet business, nothing even ties you to the piece of land that is America, you can literally keep running this website and Youtube from anywhere. If I seem defensive it's only because he accused me of being overly invested in politics as the reason I moved from the beginning which is just not the case and seems a little hypocritical based on how many posts I see him engage in on that topic.

I remember you video on Maturity, which I really liked. It seemed like the Leo in that video wouldn't have this "oh everything will be the same and it's nbd if Trump is elected" perspective. I'm kinda baffled.

Why on Earth do you think that Bro is just golfing

He is banking on having enough assets and income from his YT for it to not affect him. I don't think he's thinking at all about the common man based on his post before, which is ironic considering his business is helping people who are suffering and in low positions in life.

This proves that you should leave - you are insulated with enough money to leave, it's easy to estimate roughly how much money you have based on your channel, courses etc., but you choose not to, unlike the millions of people who would like to but cannot and will be absolutely crushed by Trump's policies.

I left during the middle of Biden's presidency. What are you talking about lmao

Agreed, wtf was that about

If this was indeed targeted at me.

Same. Kinda shocked the founder of this forum, who posts a shit load about politics all the time, assumes inherently wanting to leave the USA means you are too engaged in politics. I barely read the news.

You talking to me? Politics hasn't rotted my mind and based on your posts you talk and think about it about 10x more than I do. And you haven't even moved to and lived in another country so I have no idea why you even weighed in here. I left USA and it's way fucking better. 2.5 years away from it. When you've done that it would be more appropriate for you to post in this topic.

Moving to the USA is the worst idea I could even fathom. Left USA in 2022 and never looked back.

Why only those countries? Why not Western Europe?

wtf is grok 3

How much of that shit is even left? It seems like the majority of the rainforest has been destroyed, no?

Are most users on this forum American?

I'm curious if you think the state of things are bad enough that if it were a matter of just getting on a plane and settling in a European country, you would do that, or do you still think, in light of the last 30 days, the USA is the better choice still for you personally?

...but I sometimes am having difficulty going all in. I have an active social life and I have a hard time with the concept of letting that go. But I know to actually achieve my life purpose, I'm going to have to go all in with all my time on my business. Looking around, everything is too dire to not be spending all my time trying to achieve real money through my life purpose - if I don't, I will be forced to continue doing my job which almost certainly will become irrelevant due to AI in 5 years. And yet, I have trouble getting myself to not accept social life invitations on Friday nights. Someone says, hey let's go to this concert - and I say "ok" and then I'm out the time and money that could have been used to push toward actualizing my full potential just to do some fleeting social life thing that doesn't really push me forward. Shit is so fucked these days on the world stage that I just cannot be one of the people using their weekends watching reality shows with friends or going to concerts. So, any advice on letting go of the distractions to go ALL IN on your purpose?

They're 2.29USD here in Italy and my mom said they're 8.00 back in California and that not all stores have them at all. But I can still vote from Italy, I've been living here for 2.5 years and I voted for Kamala.
