Californians are looking into the possibility of moving abroad after becoming increasingly 'fed up' with the divisiveness of politics in the US.

A recent report suggests those living in the Golden State in particular are considering a move overseas - or even across the border into Mexico.

Experts specializing in relocating expats overseas say they have seen a notable increase in the numbers of Americans exploring options leave the country with figures from 2024 far exceeding those of 2023.

Henley & Partners, a firm specializing in international residency and citizenship, said approximately 80 percent of its US clients cite political concerns as their main reason for looking to move elsewhere.

'They want an option to escape,' said Basil Mohr Elzeki to the LA Times. 'Now with the election, people have opinions on both ends, and they're worried.'

Elzeki, who heads the firm's North American operations noted how heightened tensions surrounding the current election cycle have been driving many to explore life beyond US borders.

Similarly, Jen Barnett, founder of Expatsi, an organization that assists Americans in moving overseas, noted how there had been a significant spike in website traffic ever since the first presidential debate between Biden and Trump.

Rob Reiner said he would set himself on fire if Trump won

Since Meathead hasn’t lit his candle yet, I’m beginning to think that he was just holding out for free gasoline contributions which I’m sure he’s been offered.

After Obama was re-elected, I considered emigration.

I moved to Ecuador in 2013 to get away from all the BS here and try something different. Notwithstanding nearly getting killed by the 7.8 earthquake in 2016, I had a great time until the so called pandemic hit. Left in June 2020 and never went back.

I saw that TWA, Eastern, and PanAm airlines are offering special “package” deals to Hollywood folks fleeing to Russia, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Cuba, & Venezuela.

It would seem like those who favored the zero’s fundamental transformation would flee to his home country of Kenya.

Find out where they live, then have silent, peaceful protests outside their homes with the theme “why haven’t you gone yet?“
