Okay, so my options are Canada and New Zealand

Canada's website is down. No shit. New Zealand's website is very slow. What's the best bet for fast travel to either of those places?

Perhaps a little too literal. I don't have the money for that, and if I don't have money or a job I don't think they'll let me stay.

No, they wouldn't, so a more practical answer is "marry a citizen" - preferably one with money and a job, but hey, any port in a storm, right?

A still more practical answer is to accept the fact that you're a citizen of the USA, and unlike the hordes of refugees miserably wandering the planet, you have a home and a homeland. Donald Trump sucks hairy orc dicks, I agree, but he will only be President for four years, and there is a lot we can do in that time, IF we actually get our butts in gear to do it.

President for 8 years most likely, and a supreme court appointment is for life. Fuuuuuuck. (I can only hope Thomas is the only guy to die/retire in the next four to eight years. Even Trump can't find a justice worse than him, I'm sure.)

If Trump wins a second term, it'll be because the liberals and progressives spend the next four years sitting on their thumbs instead of getting organized.

Election reform is a matter for the states, not for the Federal government. Oregon, Washington and Colorado have 100% mail-in voting - no poll lines, no voting machines - other states could have that too, if enough voters pushed for it. Ditto for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact).

Here's hoping all the Supreme Court Justices live through 2020 - especially Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Poor lady, what a disappointing night it must have been for her.
