I live in an affluent part of South Carolina. It’s become completely overrun with Trump assholes and degenerates. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. Where can we go?

I don’t want the bitter cold of the northeast or Chicago. I don’t want coastal California, it’s insufferable. What are my options? Why can’t we just be fucking normal?!

Portland or Seattle would for those criteria well as long as you don't mind rain. Both very progressive cities, weather is generally mild (rarely above 85, rarely below 30, usually less than 2 weeks a year with snow).

Was going to suggest this. Portland is rough to move to right now, it's very popular, so costs have been climbing pretty fast. But there are some decent suburbs, Milwaukie, Tigard, Beaverton, Vancouver.

Costs is the key thing. People know it's nice, so people move here, and costs go up. Expect 2000/month rents, and that's the low side in some areas

And though it's nice, we still have our Trump bubbles around town, and then pretty much everything outside of the metro area.

Also all the homeless camps everywhere.

I was just thinking yesterday how the rest of the country's conservatives look at Seattle as a burning liberal hellscape, but we actually have a lot of conservatives here. What do the conservatives here think when fox news says that capital hill is still under riots?
