    Exactly. Just actually do it. Remember the people who escaped Germany left before the election. Those who left after had a much harder time.

    It is much easier to move without stuff whether that means selling or storing your collection of mostly junk. I took a leisurely route and brought about 40 suitcases total to the other side of the world in a few trips. The rest of the crap I bought over the years is rotting in a cheap storage unit. Your ancestors somewhere down the line immigrated with just the bags they could carry in one trip or nothing.

    Depending on your financial situation and if you have at least one family member with a secondary passport there are options. Just don’t poison them by “moving” as a tourist, trying to work, and then getting deported. Immigration is difficult, even for Americans. But it is possible.
