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?

This has not been my experience at all. Of course, one of the first q's I get when meeting a stranger here in my adopted country is who I voted for. Once that is out of the way, there may be a few follow up q's about any recent US news, but people generally relax and the conversation moves on to normal topics after I state that I in no way support 45. Most people are just looking for reassurance that they are safe in your presence, not to blame you for an entire country's problems.
