Seriously, what countries are welcoming to Americans?

Immigration is difficult, you have to have desirable skills and in most cases either a job lined up or an educational program lined up. Or enough money to not need to work.
This is true for all immigration though, Americans with the means to actually immigrate somewhere are probably some of the most desirable migrants possible.

Canada. Don't be silly.
I love Americans like I love anyone from anywhere. Everyone is more than their arbitrary nationality.
Exactly.
Employment-wise, it would be crazy to discriminate (of course, it's crazy either way).

Currently, you can fly to these locations from the US without restrictions:
- Albania
- Belarus
- Brazil
- Dominican Republic
- Mexico
- North Macedonia
- Serbia
- Turkey
- Zambia
To move to? I dunno a lot of places in Europe. You need the language and a job tho. Germany is pretty open to people with degrees in fields that are desired, and often in many industries you can get by with English. But you will probably want to learn the language.
Or Canada.

Ironically as difficult as the US immigration system is for becoming a permanent resident and eventually citizen, it's also quite hard overseas. Basically if you're not rich/well-connected, have a job lined up, or have a desirable skill (usually STEM), it seems almost "need not apply."
If you can work remotely Barbados is the easiest way to leave as they are doing 12 month Welcome Stamp/Visa which you can renew after 12 months to live and work remotely in Barbados.
Yeah, US actually has one of the...easier immigration systems compared most developed countries. And our immigration system is completely fucked and horrible.
IDK. Just seems like the US process is shit on the most - for good reason. So people might not realize that plenty of other countries make it a very difficult process too.
Things might be rough right now due to COVID, but once that's cooled off immigrating elsewhere as an educated American shouldn't be too hard, especially if your skills are in an in-demand field. Canada's my back-up plan, because I'm too lazy to learn a new language. My understanding is you need to get a job first, then move and have them sponsor your paperwork.
So yeah, if you're thinking medium to long term, you're probably fine. Pick where you think you want to go, and start learning the language if you haven't already.

Please tell me you're not a white person with comfortable finances who's concerned about your place in the world.
check out the target country's immigration programs. Canada might be good if you have a job lined up, which could be easy or hard depending on if your skillset is something in need.
You are welcome on sunny Costa Rica.
We are a progressive, army-less country with many beaches and kind people.

Yes lad.
In regards to moving to other places, it's good to know people that already live there, know their language, and having a skill set that is deemed desirable. Nobody is going to outwardly hate you unless you give them a reason to.
I'd suggest coming to the UK because you speak English and the unwashed masses love that.
However, we've got a lot of bullshit going on ourselves, politically speaking, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. This country's going to hell in a handbasket led by a selfish moron backed by thunderous applause from ignorant fuckwits who whilst stepping out on the streets to cheer "ARE HEROES IN THE NHS" refuse to wear masks to limit the spread of infection.
But yeah, for the most part the UK are welcoming to Americans or at least everything negative I've heard is from some old fart grumbling about turning up late for "the war" or some such.

They have a point. If something happens around the election abled cishet white people who have the financial means to leave the country are the least at risk.
Of course that's true. I'm not disputing that at all. But what does that have to do with the topic?
Gonna make the move if Trump wins as well. Well as soon as countries let us in thanks to the US response to covid.
lol well which one is it?

but OP, look into Portugal. I hear the visa process is relatively simple and quicker than some. also, don't listen to the people who are talking out of their ass when they say covid is restricting you. most countries have some sort of quarantine period put in place for travelers, nothing out of the ordinary. while it will limit some of your choices, it's not stopping you completely.
just google their travel requirements when you think of a place you'd go
There are a few members of parliament in Australia who follow Qanon members. We have large amounts of racist people, an evangelical prime minister and no plan for climate change.
There are also plenty of places that are amazing filled with amazing people...just like America..
So basically I'd recommend Americans...move to America. Just not one of the shit bits. Another four years of Trump? Conservative court? Yeah that will make some places completely unliveable. But those places are going to just get worse and worse anyway.
Kind of bleak and defeatist, but if it is driven by a bleak defeat then it is what it is.

Apart from the UK I don't think Americans can even visit these countries at the moment let alone immigrate.
