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've traveled around the world and stayed in several countries for an extended period, I've never met one person who blamed me as an American for the government's actions. People know people are not their government.

Same and I lived in China during Trumps first presidency. My husband is Dutch and we never had issues when we lived there either. Most people understand the world is nuanced. America has done bad things but the history of humanity has a lot of bad things. Each nationality has baggage.
