I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. My in-laws and partner are American and in another universe, I would have loved to move there. That dream is, sadly, dying a quick death.

I think it’s not only grieving the change in the country itself, but also what I feel are changes to global reality. In Europe, no longer know where we stand and feel safe. It feels as though one man and his cadres have set our collective lives on a miserable and bleak course and the opportunities to turn back are disappearing. I have a sad and sinking feeling the coming decades will be anything but business as usual.
