"I preemptively left the country last year".

Where did you go? I am in a position to leave, but not sure where to go.

The best safe space after the US is Switzerland.

If you move anywhere else, you risk making it worse for yourself.

One option is Taiwan which gives gold cards to people with impressive GitHubs.

Ummm... yeah, I think that could easily end up in the category of "making it worse for yourself" given the geopolitical risk.

Go where you have friends, family, or some clear reason to be. The fact that you are open to suggestions implies this is an aimless/distracting way to waste years of your life. Perhaps you have the type of trouble you can't run away from ? I am speaking from experience and hoping you don't give up on the US assuming your roots are here. Take a long vacation abroad as an alternative.
