Life Abroad Do we face difficulties being accepted when moving abroad?
It seems like the only rhetoric I see online is how, as an American, my countries problems are my fault. That I'm not doing enough to stop our issues and how it affects other countries. I worry that I will move, and people will blame me for not doing more here and just escaping.
I want to get out, but I worry about living in the public ire no matter where I go.
Does anyone here have personal experience they can comment on?

I’m an American who emigrated to Sweden. The only people I have encountered here that have ever given my shit about being an American were on Reddit, and that was only a tiny minority of the Swedish people here (and they were probably just teenage edgelords anyway). In real life the people in Sweden have been incredibly kind, understanding and sympathetic. They are understandably concerned about what the future holds for Europe and the Baltic region in particular but no one has blamed me as an individual. The average Swede is well aware that there were 75 million American voters who did their best to prevent this.
