Canada was the country of choice for all of the liberals who said they were leaving the country if Donald Trump was elected president. They followed through on that as well as they did at their promise to stop using Twitter if Elon Musk purchased it. (How are things over there on Threads?)
NBC News reports that critics of Trump fear retribution if he's re-elected. NBC News decided to do a dozen interviews with people who share this fear.
For those who have criticized former President Trump, fears of retribution grow as he campaigns for re-election.

Peter Nicholas reports:
The Vindmans aren’t alone. Interviews with more than a dozen people who’ve run afoul of Trump for various reasons reveal deep worry among many that he will seek revenge if he wins another term. They are considering ways to protect themselves should he use the office’s vast powers to punish them over grievances that he’s been nursing.
Fearful of being hounded by investigators, prosecuted or stripped of their livelihoods, some are planning to leave the country if Trump is sworn in. Others are consulting attorneys or setting aside money to fight back in case they’re targeted either by Trump’s administration or by his Republican allies in Congress.
…
“I know of many prominent ‘never Trump’ advocates, including many Republicans, who are considering their options to leave the country were Trump to win in November,” [Mark] Zaid said.
One complication is that unless these people possess dual citizenship, they need to worry that the State Department would invalidate their passports, leaving them “stranded overseas and stateless,” Zaid added.
In the crosshairs: the Vindmans, John Kerry, and John Bolton, along with many others.
What are they worried about? States are going to keep Trump off the ballot as he's disqualified to serve as president.
Donald Trump was recently fined $450 million by the state of New York for the crime of taking out a loan and paying it back, and NBC is worried about what he will do to his political opposition? https://t.co/wnGRXqdkiI
— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) February 23, 2024 Good Lord. This piece is incredible. It talks about how Trump made the outrageous suggestion John Kerry should be prosecuted under the Logan Act -- without mentioning they used the Logan Act to investigate Trump's own National Security Adviser! Are they this ignorant?

"He worries that government agencies under Trump might go out of their way to target his clients." Yes, it would be incredible to have government agencies targeting people for their politics.

Unheard of.
"Mark Zaid is an attorney who represented the whistleblower — who remains anonymous to this day — in Trump’s first impeachment."
The "whistleblower's" name is Eric Ciaramella, he never qualified for federal whistleblower protections, and the only reason the media gives him…

The "whistleblower's" name is Eric Ciaramella, he never qualified for federal whistleblower protections, and the only reason the media gives him anonymity is that they want to hide the fact that he served as an adviser to Joe Biden and the first impeachment was joke as a matter of due process.
We don't see how Trump could weaponize the Justice Department without firing everyone and building it back from scratch.
Trump was basically impeached because he just asked if Ukraine investigated Biden, his opponent. Biden's DOJ has basically declared war on Trump and anyone who supports him. Blatant hypocrisy and double standard. Not to mention Biden's Ukraine graft is now proven.

@NBCNews is behaving like a good little Democratic Party foot soldier.

Well, they certainly don't want anything like that happening to their side.

They’re worried about what he’ll do to them because they know what they’re doing to him.
It’s projection

Why is anyone worried when Biden was just voted the 14th greatest American president, with Trump coming in last place? What does Biden have to worry about?

That’s because lefties are liars and hypocrites.
Let me correct the above. I wrote myself in in 16 and 20. But all other votes were for R’s.

He's planning on writing himself in again in 2024, while trying to stay on FR to do as much damage to Trump as he can.
I used to see Vindman ads with his idiot twin. I always made comments that their mother must have cried when she realized she got a second idiot to raise. The ads have stopped.
We hear this CRAP every 4 years “IF THAT EVIL REPUBLICAN WINS I’M LEAVING”!
They NEVER DO EVEN IF WE OFFER TO PURCHASE THEIR TICKETS!
I really hope all these PAB’s that are saying they’ll get out, leave. But they won’t. They’re just morons.
Saw the headline. Haven’t read it. Stupid people say stuff like that.
I’m positively counting on retribution. Its a big part of the reason why I support President Trump. Give it to ‘em good and hard.
Thanks for the late night laugh
Not a one left last time. The only one who has a valid excuse is Alec Baldwin. He has to hang around for his criminal trial
Words are meaningless. I think they should have to sign a legal contract and be forced to leave before he takes the oath of office in Jan.
Ray-cists!
Canada is considerably "whiter" than the U.S.A.
Let them go to Nigeria or Pakistan. I'm sure that they'd welcome them with open arms!

Absurd! Not having a (valid) U.S. passport had absolutely no effect upon one's citizenship!
Literally hundreds of millions of Americans have no (valid) U.S. passport.
A passport is helpful only when crossing international borders (unless you are entering the U.S. across the Southern Border, in which case it is irrelevant).
Regards,
How about they interview those who HAVE left the country when Trumo was elected last time? Oh wait...they can’t find anyone who actually did that.
Really? Cool. The law of United consequences in a good way. The absence of them would be icing on the cake.
Excellent question!
Is that why you stayed?
How you gonna travel back to the US without one?
These worthless pig fornicators should remember to hand in their US citizenship cards on the way out.
