How do you go about getting a job in Canada/UK or any other major anglophone country? Do you just apply as normal and then your boss sponsors you and in time, you can get citizenship?

At this point, I don't know. I definitely have a very job in a good field but don't what the risks are yet.

People complained about Bush after he won narrowly but decisively won in 2004. He replaced a moderate and a conservative with two conservatives on SCOTUS, made it harder to declare bankruptcy if you are at least of median means, and participated in a PR campaign against a DNR request in order to stir anti-abortion sentiment...but still, he didn't invade Iran, he didn't cancel Social Security, and the trouble he started to have in the summer/fall of 2005 metastasized into a more successful movement against him by the summer of 2006 that would last 4 years. It was bad, but it ended and did not cause apparent permanent damage.

Honestly, option 2. This country will mean nothing to me if it elects someone like Donald Trump. The fact that he is even this close is very troubling to me and it does truly scare me. This election has reached the point where it is shaking my very faith in democracy itself, or at least the democracy that this country attempts and aspires to be.

Yes, I would like to leave were the worst to happen. It is not easy to just pick up your bags and move all of a sudden though. Financial difficulties are just one of a number of issues at hand. It also means moving to a country that will accept you and other First World countries tend to more restrictive in terms of immigration. Also, it means moving away from the people you love and care about. So yeah, it's not easy. Part of me is also stubborn too though and I don't want to give up. Like I've said before, I would support an independence movement for California and perhaps the entire West Coast.

Perhaps if people keep saying you are not an American, you will eventually believe it.
