this is for a USA born citizen who wants to get asylum out of America, is it possible and how can the process be started?

To be accepted as a refugee under the UN convention, you need to show that you are at real risk of serious harm either from your government, or at least that your government will not or cannot protect you; and this has to be because of ethnicity, religion, politics or something similar. So that fact that you live in a dangerous area, or the government is after you because you are a criminal, won't help you win an asylum claim.
So you are welcome to claim asylum in any country you can get to, but you better have a pretty good story if you want them to take you seriously.

Good question . Many countries have tight immigration policies that are enforced ( unlike the USA) . Asylum wouldn't be apropos , however countries do let you in for work and such . Good luck

step 1) contact immigration authorities of whichever country you want to live in
step 2) tell them you are an american seeking asylum in their country
step3) after they are done laughing at you, hang up the phone and wonder what the hell you were thinking trying to leave the best country in the world

Easy. Buy a plane ticket and fly to Iceland. They need good people like you. There is a lookout station in the most Northern region. That will be your job.

Everyone is hoping that you can get out and leave.
(Probably no other country would want you.)
