Americans can travel to most countries in the world(180 of them, give or take) either visa-free or with a visa on arrival.
Almost all remaining countries accept online visa applications. You fill out an online form (15 minutes or less), pay the fee, and they email you the Visa a day or two later.
that’s good, I definitely wasn’t saying “take a vacation”.
“You original comment…so literally.”
don’t take it too literally.

I was referring to leaving the country and situation that is making OP miserable, rather than leaving this post or your apartment or whatever literal conclusion you’re referring to now.
Are you speaking from direct experience? Where did you end up and how? Fascism is a growing trend. America has changed pretty significantly, but retreating seems like it could get a bit cat and mouse with the direction other nations are also headed.
yes

Oh so you literally just mean travel. Not actually working or settling down?
“…not actually working or settling down?”
In the previous comment, I was answering your question of “where americans can travel” to.
If you want to work or settle down abroad, you can do that.
If you want to travel indefinitely, you can do that too.
Travel is up to the traveler.
You original comment didn’t read to me as “take a vacation” so given the broader context I wasn’t taking the wording so literally.

But even then I doubt the majority of Americans can afford to do so.
No use for doubt when the information is avalable:
Tickets to central america this month starting at 21$, Europe starting at $98, Asia starting at $249(cherry blossom prices).
That’s a very short-sighted, one-dimensional take.
What about vacation time? Lost pay? Do you comprehend how most people are living?

“Are you speaking from direct experience?”
i am speaking from direct experience.
“Where did you end up”
I’ve been traveling over a decade; started in china, went to a few dozen countries, still going.
“how?”
came across an ad for teaching english, flew over to China. kept going.
“Fascism is a growing trend.”
it’s certainly a very popular topic within a few countries these days.
i daresay it’s much easier to comprehend from out here.
“America has changed pretty significantly”
it might seem like that standing on the pulse there but again, things look different from out here.
“bit cat and mouse with the direction other nations are also headed.”
there are 200 countries, none of which are static.
you may feel confined because you’re living in one of them, and it could be that you think you’re only supposed to live in one of them.
“retreating”
protesting, not retreating.
if you live outside of the states for more than 330 days per year, you aren’t required to pay earned income tax up $125,000.
administrations and policies I don’t agree with don’t get my tax revenue, and haven’t for a long time.
Withholding funding from the system is preferable to participating in and contributing to the system.
Vote with your feet.
