I sacrificed so much to move to America as a teenager. I left behind my entire family. The people who birthed me, fed me, loved me! 25 years later - as a father, husband, and business owner - I find myself wanting to leave. I feel like I am living inside a corporation, not a nation. A corporation where every individual experience has been boiled down to a transaction. This country is dumbing down its own citizens and draining them off of their resources, and using their blood, sweat, tears and their dignity, to destroy other citizens and nations around the world. At times it feels like living in a dystopian sci-fi movie.

Under the current chapter of US history, it is the right-wing that would make it harder on US expats, including making it harder to obtain multiple citizenships. Their manner of thinking would be why should Americans have multiple citizenships if America is the best country in the world.

It’s such a traumatic place. A citizen who left three years ago, I plan on never returning. Im freer in a “second world” country than I am in that place!

"and then i realized... that's who I'm surrounded by". Ah yes, the awakening moment that every entrepreneur or high IQ individual goes through.

Just retired and relocated to Madrid, Spain. Love your perspective. I had a lot of judgment from friends about how could I leave the best country in the world? When I ask “how” is the U.S. the best? Low crime? Best Healthcare? Best educational attainment rate? Highest longevity? Radio silence!

Appreciate articulating your reasons why you renounced your citizenship. Makes complete sense to me if I was in your position.
