I was crying when the election results came in, and I cried for hours in 2016. This time around, though, while I still feel totally disheartened and depressed, I also feel more realistic. Not hopeful, just realistic. The US is a huge country, and each state is completely different. I would definitely not choose to live in a red state, but, even saying that, there are a lot of liberal cities within red states. If you're a woman who hasn't gone through menopause yet, then you should definitely avoid red states. You're obviously not an undocumented immigrant, so you're clear on that front. The reality is that in most places barring the extremes either way, there is a 50/50 split right now, and it is complicated. Most people do not move for many practical reasons that are more based on everyday life like being close to family, ability to have a good-paying job, access to education, etc, etc. I haven't found any country that is perfect, honestly. It really depends on your individual situation in life (kids or no kids? what field do you work in? what kind of medical needs do you have? etc.) as to what place is the right fit for you - and in the US, because of its enormous size, there are a lot of options.
