Happy to be part of the brain drain. I left the deeply conservative countryside for a forward-thinking border town. Thinking about maybe transitioning out of the country in the future.
I grew up in a deeply red area. Lived in quite a few places in the East coast during college and for a few years after, eventually moved to Colorado and it went blue soon after.
That area is still deeply red. Of the people I kept track of since high school, I cannot think of one of them that went to college and stayed in that area after graduating. Even with today’s option of working remote, I don’t see how I could stomach living there. The landscape is beautiful and some of the people are great.
The conservative base in that area? Some of the ugliest personalities I’ve ever had the displeasure to meet. And it’s something like 3- or 4-to-1 ratio of Republicans to Democrats.
They are probably so confused as to why their economic situation is a total shitshow, too…
Way to go, idiots.
Idiots electing idiots is utterly ruining my country.
join the brain drain, and migrate to Europe
It’s easier said than done
Yes, migrating is never going to be outright easy, but there is significant help and support available. See my root comment for more information.
The funding uncertainties, as well as the change that has barred second-year graduate students from applying to the fellowship, “are really eroding confidence in N.S.F. stewardship of this program,” said Gisèle Muller-Parker, a former official who directed the agency’s fellowship program from 2008 until 2017.
By law, the N.S.F. is mandated to award graduate fellowships “solely on the basis of ability,” and the program has been funding students based on the strength of their potential since 1952. But in an analysis of the 2025 awards, Dr. Muller-Parker found that a disproportionate number of fellowships went to students with research connected to A.I. and quantum information science, in line with the priorities of the Trump administration.
It’s not Trump. It’s neoliberal policies that have been tearing every country apart for decades.
Naw. Idiots didn’t vote for donnie because of neoliberal policies. Donnie didn’t point a radicalized ideologue like Vought at our country and let him start ripping it apart for neoliberal policies.
People vote for Donnie for a lot of reasons. Neoliberal policies are not it. The issue is that centrist Democrats will push for the same policies of low taxes for the rich, low/no regulation for businesses.
Nobody votes for neoliberal policies. Sold out centrist and right wing politicians will always support those policies.
