31. If I didn't have a child I'd likely stay.

Stayed put throughout the Bush years. That being said I am concerned about who my son is raised around. Watched with horror how, in just a few months, Trump and Bannon has brought every stripe of radical right winger pouring out of the woodwork and is working hard to give them everything on their wishlist.

Despite dire predictions I don't see the far right populist parties in Germany (Alternative for Germany) and the Nethelands (PVV - Geert Wilder's outfit) taking over their respective governments anytime soon. Also while LePen has the best shot at the presidency she's ever had I don't think she'll make it.
