Current day America has proven beyond a doubt, humanity is the only animal that wouldn't jump out of a slowly boiling pot of water.

I'm trying! I'm working towards proving I'm Polish-by-descent, then I'll be able to hold an EU passport. It's slow going.
And in the mean time, I'm in a trans-friendly state, can pass as cis and hetero, and I'm white. I have a go bag and a US passport that matches my birth gender. My next steps are improving my food stores to protect against tariff impacts.
The only things that tie me to this country are my friends (who are also looking into exit plans and whom I talk to online more than in person) and my dog (I imagine moving to a new country with a dog is even harder than finding an apartment with a dog). Oh, and I really love my job and my coworkers, but my job might go away with all of the societal upset.
Just short FYI, I don't know exactly your situation so I won't go to deep into it, but moving to another country with a dog is no big deal. If you are worried about the dog, they just want to be with you, where ever you go.

I'm probably a bit wary after by watching friends jump through hoops to move to Japan with their pup. Japan has many hoops because they're rabies-free, which, I didn't think Europe has the same concern.My pup is also 16, so sadly I won't have to worry about him forever.

No, I've never experienced anything like that. Even in small towns. I'm sure it happens, but I don't think it's common as long as you're respectful.
The worse thing I've personally seen were no foreigner signs on bars on new years eve.

I’ve read (in Japanese, written by Japanese people) that those places will actually welcome you in if speak Japanese and is respectful of the place and other patrons, the latter 2 conditions just like any respectable human should. It could be that they’ve put those up due to xenophobia, but there are also those that just don’t want to deal with people who don’t respect their culture.

I don’t think I’ve known of a “designated tourist area” in Japan. I lived there for a month in some town that I doubt there’d be any foreign tourist and nobody harassed me and my friends. We were even helped by the locals and police when one of my friends lost their wallet, and they were super patient about it too.

Yea these were in a heavily touristy spots. So I don't blame them.

Longer wait times? B...b...b...but he's the head of the department of government efficiency, who could've seen this coming!?

The lid was always on.
the lid was never on, its just that nobody checked to see if it was, and as a result, here we area now.

yeah pretty much.
They say education is the most important thing.
I'm inclined to agree, but we might honestly be past democracy in a post truth world, i'm not sure we deserve the rights we have.

the biggest things in the way here are going to be citizenship, the US has really lax citizenship most of the time, compared to a lot of other countries especially.
And your job, assuming you don't work in a large national business, or from home, in a way that they're willing to accommodate.

For instance trans people can’t get passports or renew them meaning they have absolutely no way to leave.
given long enough you can just cross the border and claim asylum

Not on average, but we allow the most greedy to self-select into power, tipping the balance.
