Central Illinois - basically everything within 50-75 miles of I-74 across the state. Doesn’t get bitter cold, not overrun with MAGA asshats (among the reasons we left another Midwest state), cost of living isn’t terrible, and easy access to Chicago, St Louis, and beyond.

I've heard good things about Durham.NC.

Greenville. That downtown is perfection.

Why don’t you just stay there?

If you have a good rate you’ll be setting yourself up for a haircut if you choose to move.

I guess you could go to Georgia. You could go to Savannah or St. Simons. Make the state slightly more purple.

North Carolina is a crapshoot. Virginia?

Those are your options. Feel free to move to Tennessee: you won't like it, but I'd like my state to turn purple eventually so all libs are welcome.

Edit: I used to live in Macon, and I hated it, but it's apparently amazing to visit now, so maybe you can live there if you don't need to work.

Ideally, you don't go anywhere. You talk to those assholes and degenerates and try to understand them a bit better and maybe even try to make friends with them (yes, yes, crazy idea). They are your fellow citizens, after all.

From over here in Europe, questions like this really make America look screwed. Let's hope it's not.
