Might be a slightly long post but I really really want to get this off my chest.

I m not leaving the Donald.win - I probably wouldn't be posting here any more but I will always follow and support you patriots, but I will be leaving the US. Not tomorrow - I have to get somethings in order, but I ve made the decision.

I did almost everything "right". Worked my ass off. Went to a HYPS college. Got 2 Masters degrees including a MBA from H/S/W. My research team of 3 during my engineering masters developed a technology that advanced the absolute frontier of a certain field and gained as wide of a publicity as something like that could get (Wired, MIT tech review). I was making 6 figures right out of college at a well known hedge fund. From the outside it is easy to mistake me for some privileged elitist ,and honestly I am surrounded by many, but thinking about the suffering my parents went to bring me up and educate me brings tears to my eyes right now.

I am not saying this to brag, but to tell you how much I had to prove myself before I got a place in this great country. And along that way it was not "old white men" that showed me racism, in fact they have showed support and advocated for me many many times. In fact I am lucky enough to not have ever faced overt racism - it has always been subtle and from holier than thou liberals (both white and black). In fact despite all my success I have NEVER passed an interview process out of countless many that involved a non-immigrant woman. Western feminism does not like men who don't bullshit and act phony.

Despite all of this, the only thing I ever really wanted from the world was to be left alone. I am not materialistic at all anymore. I have been made fun of for using the same phone from 5 years ago because it still works fine even though its pocket change at this point. Only thing I splurge on are gifts and expenses incurred in treating others. I have realized that life is entirely inside your head. It's all about the peace you got in there, but unfortunately for me I am not yet skilled enough to obtain that peace while the likes of the left keep poking you with a spike and telling me how to speak and think. I am also not skilled enough to see the rights of others being decimated by woke agendas.

This has been a tough couple of weeks for me. Tougher than I ever imagined it could have been. I have been outspoken anywhere I can be since the election on the fraud. The lowest company I have to engage with are friends of my sibling when I visit them and a couple weeks ago, I was pretty sure I was about to get into a fist fight with a brainwashed egotistical idiot who lost his shit when he brought up hate on trump and I completely embarassed him my exposing his cluelessness. It was entertaining to be honest and I was laughing at his face, but there is a part that hurt about it because my sibling didn't say anything to defend me in their own house despite his juvenile and completely disgusting behavior.

All I ever wanted to be was to be left alone, but I now realize that complacent freedom is just a dream that I was foolish enough to believe. Reagan was right “Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction” - it is something you have to always fight for. I am leaving, but I am not done. I realize that the place I can personally have the most impact is not here but in my home country now with my background and resources. I have seen it being pillaged by politicians for generations. I have seen them slowly selling it out to china with their predatory loans. Since covid I have seen the people suffer with the loss of livelihood as the clueless leaders fall to global propaganda and enforce strict lockdowns. So I have decided to go back and get into politics because if not me, who else? This is something I never dreamt of doing even a year ago. So yes, I am leaving but I am not done. America is not just a country for me but an ideal. It is what is right vs what is wrong, and I will be fighting for America in a land foreign to you all. But I will be rooting for you all and hope you will show the "courage and wisdom" that is needed. The US is the foundation of the world and admittedly what ever I do back there, I will be building on a seemingly brittle foundation, but I am trusting you to not let it fall. Thank you all for inspiring me.
