I have my share of complaints about the US, and with COVID, there are more, but by and large, other people here aren't so bad.
I feel like it's not tenable to maintain this attitude of "it's only good if there's no one else", which you see here a lot.

So I honestly do not blame anyone whatsoever for wanting to run away to either the middle of nowhere or to live among likeminded sorts. I did so myself after getting physically attacked by pandemic deniers who lived down the street from me. But this was a pre-existing condition - the last half decade really unleashed and enabled the full scope of our national insanity with the pandemic and 2020 election the coup de grace IMO.
