I wanted to leave Burgerland too, but I settled for moving to the Atlantic northeast... and for the most part, it's been an improvement. Striking a balance between what you can afford for living conditions and being close enough to a less-chuddy urban area like Chicago or NYC where some of those vibes reach you can help too.
This is also what I did. The urban northeast feels like a different country. It has problems of gross inequality, poverty, and gentrification (I suppose I'm contributing to them), but no one is particularly bothered by me being trans and there are far more left wing people and groups.
thirding this, did the same thing and it's been a massive quality of life improvement even if it's still the US.
i'd consider checking out the urban midwest aswell. Chicago and Minneapolis are both cheap as hell, and have a lot of great people and vibes
