Okay then let me out? Canada and Mexico both have U.S. Safe Third Country agreements which prevents me from seeking asylum, despite the hundreds of quotes from the US government indicating they wish to harm me for being queer. Even if I do manage to get out and renounce my US citizenship, I still have to pay taxes to the US.

If you want people who don't think like you to get out, give them a way to do that and you can have your intolerant shithole country all to yourself.

I’m going to stop you there, as someone who actually left the US because it sucks.

Foreign earned income exclusion and foreign housing mean you aren’t going to pay federal taxes on anywhere from 140k-230k depending on where you live.

And if you renounce citizenship, you only worry about exit taxes if your net worth is over 2 mil or you have been making over 200k a year.

If any of those were true you wouldn’t have a problem leaving the US.

And then after that you just don’t actually pay taxes to the US.

So aside from being factually incorrect and ranting I don’t know what you’re doing
