This is America Now...if you can't live by this, then leave.

Since the left views Donald Trump as Hitler and the Republican Party – currently dominant in Congress and the majority of statehouses – as accomplices in his fascist tyranny, the existential question each liberal-progressive ought to be asking himself is the very question a punk rock band made famous as the refrain of their most popular tune.
The lyrics of The Clash's 1982 song "Should I Stay or Should I Go" reflect the singer's indecisiveness about whether he should remain in a relationship with a woman who today entices him and tomorrow plays hard to get. "One day it's fine, and next it's black," sings Mick Jones of his mercurial muse, "so if you want me off your back, well, come on and let me know: should I stay or should I go?" Considering founding member Joe Strummer's overtly leftist politics, the band could hardly have anticipated that their song, whose content is no more serious than an adolescent romance, would now serve as a metaphor for progressives and their love-hate relationship with the United States.
The question as to why liberals simply do not pack up and leave the United States has been on my mind, particularly after a recent conversation with a self-proclaimed "bleeding heart" fellow congregant at my church, who looked at me venomously when I told him I consider myself a constitutionalist. His offense was all the greater because my wife is black.
"The Founding Fathers presided over one of the greatest crimes against humanity in history," said the chap regarding American slavery, and "the Constitution made blacks three fifths of a person."

North Korea, Cuba, Swedenstan, Germanistan, all middle eastern countries except Israel - so many great choices for the commies to pick from!
Go! Please!
Gotta make sure they don’t return without a visa.
I'm sorry, what does this even mean? I get that someone looked at the author in a way he considered "venomous." I get that the person disagreed with the author. Why are either of these things "all the greater" offense because the author is married to a black woman?
Are people married to black women a new protected class with whom one is not permitted to disagree?
Simple. On the one hand, they want to live in a country in which capitalism and freedom created the highest standards of living in the world. On the other, they want to destroy the capitalism and freedom that created those standards. Just an example of how irrational liberal "thinking" is.
Simple, they are too lazy to go unless the government helps them.

If the lefties can’t afford travel, maybe they can take a vacation at home with heroin. All the cool kids are doing it. So unless lefties wish to be shunned as non-conformists and politically incorrect, they need to climb aboard the smackwagon.
...all the greater because my wife is black.

Yeah, I found that a bit confusing, as well. Is he telling us that there is something in the Constitution about racially mixed marriages?
If he is, then he’s no more a “Constitutionalist” than his interlocutor with the venomous glare.
I know what you mean, but I think he meant that the author doesn't fit the stereotype of what the left thinks a conservative is.
That aspect of the Constitution was changed 150+ years ago.
But let's review some of the human misery caused by Democrats and other socialist pretending things to be true that aren't true: - Slavery was pretending that black people aren't people. - The holocaust was pretending that Jewish people aren't people. - Millions dead via abortion is pretending that preborn people aren't people. - And now we pretend that homosexuality is normal, and the problems are just beginning.

Yes, I am pretty sure that is what he means. His writing is so poor, however, that it leaves the reader attempting to interpret his meaning. No excuse for that.

You may have detected my lack of sympathy for this easily-outraged ... person.
“Are people married to black women a new protected class with whom one is not permitted to disagree?”
Yes.
Hey lefties, relocate to the Socialist Paradise of Venezuela!
