I will just say, a lot of the Americans I meet over here, are leftists.

A lot. A huge amount. And they were here, already.

This is not a new thing.

Eleanor Pelta has secured Polish passports for herself and her two sons.

But hasn't left or finalized any plans to leave.

Stephanie Schwab is planning an escape route via Spain.

But hasn't left or finalized any plans to leave.

Elie Jacobs has begun to keep enough cash on hand to buy last-minute plane tickets to Israel for his family.

But hasn't left or finalized any plans to leave.

Alex and Aussa Lorens are applying for work visas in Australia

But haven't left or finalized any plans to leave.

Josh Lewin is aiming for New Zealand.

But hasn't left or finalized any plans to leave.

Guessing this hard hitting journalist saw these people kvetching in a comments section at Vox or something.

Kami Lewis Levin already has her bags packed and tickets purchased. She leaves next week, with her husband, three children and a dog, for a new home in Costa Rica.

Finally we've got a live one. Sounds like a big move -- moving the whole family, already have a house picked out. Probably been in the works for a while. Like since before the recent shootings and possibly even before Trump was elected.

Americans are not flocking to the exits....

Wait, what's the point of the article again?

...but some of them are thinking about it, and some are talking about it...

Oh, right. "Some" people -- liberals of course, who threaten to leave after every election a Republican wins, thus making it not news -- are thinking about it or something. In other words, not exactly "voting with their feet" as the title says.

This whole paragraph is quote worthy:

The Lewins have rejected Australia because “they have huge spiders there,” Josh says, and he is about as scared of spiders as he is of mass shootings. He has set New Zealand as his goal, intrigued years ago by the popularity of the extreme sport of “drift triking” — riding nonmotorized Big Wheels-like contraptions down huge hills. (New Zealand does have spiders, but venomous species capable of harming humans are extremely rare.) More recently he has been attracted by the fact that “after one mass shooting there they took steps to make it not so easy for people to get ahold of weapons of war.” And then, “after the shootings this weekend, I went from a 3 on the scale of how likely I was to actually move to a 6.”

Watch out, he's up to a 6!

That would be ironic,” she said of her vague plan of eventually teaching English in her husband’s native land.

Hard hitting stuff here.

RBG needs to go so things can start heading towards the SCOTUs

Everything changes with that. If he wins next year and she leaves, one way or the other, it’s a complete game changer. Of course, this country will see a level of violence and chaos, like never before, but it’ll be worth it.

US Senator Mitch McConnell was just kicked off of twitter. (I thought you had replied to me on a thread about that, btw.)

Not a single example of the people leaving, in that article, were planning to illegally enter a foreign land. Not a single one. They were all emigrating legally, by acquiring passports and notifying the countries, making themselves known and getting permission.

Somehow Yahoo and the left thinks this is a slap in the face to Trump.

Sometimes I feel like moving too. The problem is, I feel like leaving to get away from the constant hatred spewed by the media. It is relentless, it is overwhelmingly hateful to everything that I love - my faith, my country, my freedom, my family unit which is too, too white and traditional, etc..

I can understand why some young men would go crazy after listening to this anti-white, anti-male garbage day after day. Do these leftists have no sense at all? If we deplorables are so awful, why are we not rioting, looting, etc. in retaliation? It is because we are the sane ones, but for how long can we endure this sickness which we are constantly bombarded with?

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

Bet they’re going to CR to live in a villa with a pool, maid, and gardener
Close to the beach
And close to an American or international school
Ah the life of a refugee...
