I keep wondering if I should get out of the US while I can but I can't think of an English-speaking country that seems to be doing much better

Ive also considered this, but I think two large problems are countries change over time internally and good places to live change over time.

For instance if the place you are looking for is a country with a large social safety net, that country might not offer that in 20 years either from external factors like war or internal factors such as the banking crisis that almost bankrupt Europe.

I dont think transplanting my life that dramatically for situations that could change at the drop of a hat is a good idea.

Plus, in a situation where the United States becomes too destabilized to desire to live even in the more liberal areas such as the north east, I would also expect China and Russia to start making huge territory grabs into those exact countries that invested in social services instead of their military.

If you are really concerned about where you are, I would consider moving to a liberal area of America because if that becomes untenable then the whole world is probably screwed.
