Yeah, I am never returning to the US, ever. Some other place will get my tourist money.

I want to travel outside the US more and take my tourist dollars and give them to some other place... and maybe even though I am white and was born here, they won't let me back in for some reason and that will just force the issue of me having to leave for good.

The only problem is that when I'm outside the country, I feel like an asshole and feel some responsibility for the current shitstorm (even though I've voted against it at every opportunity, part of local political action groups, etc) and feel like everyone can instantly clock me as an American and will hate me... I was in the Netherlands recently and some woman thought I was from Spain, so that did make me feel a little better... I really didn't want to come home from that trip it was so amazing :(

The corporate entity that owns the company I work at recently bought another company in Norway, and I got very excited as this new company does things related to my expertise that not many other people in the organization have... I was supposed to go visit and learn more about their facility and planned on vying HARD to get transfered there, but after the acquisition and a bit of back and forth they basically just said "We are ok on our own we don't want any involvement" and that was that...
