    My however many greats grandfather came over on the Mayflower in 1620. He too had to leave England and then the Netherlands even when it was hard, looking for a place for his family to have a future he believed in. I feel sad but I also think all things change and he would understand why I’m leaving.

    I hope your country takes the threat more seriously than we did. There are a lot of broken hearts in America right now.

      Ok so one of my ancestors did that, too, and it’s more accurate to describe it as:

      He was forced to leave England (because he was the equivalent of a MAGA back then) and then willingly left the Netherlands when they weren’t religious enough for him, either, looking for a place for his family to suppress the religious rights of others

      It sucks, but that’s what the Pilgrims were about, hardcore religious oppression for everyone
