“David, a 65-year-old lawyer from Chicago, is going to Portugal on a scouting trip next month...”
David is a blowhard who is leaving the dangers of Chicago and always wanted to have a place in Portugal. He’s also an attention seeking whore.
The wife and I had long time planned to retire in the Caribbean. We made scouting trips to numerous places and bought a house (now two) on the beach in the Caribbean. I have retired and she will be retired shortly. Do you think Fortune would report my story if I told them I left to avoid the tyranny of Biden?

Actually, I was thinking about moving to Italy IF Trump WAS NOT elected.
However, IF Trump is not elected, there may be no place to escape to.
Seriously, Italy, Portugal and Spain have all been retirement destinations for years for people from the UK.
There are thousands of properties for sale all over Italy that can be purchased for a fraction of what they would be worth in the UK or California or even South Carolina or Arizona or Florida now.
I have been working on trying to convince the Mrs for about two years. We follow multiple YouTube channels of Expats who have moved to Italy. Along with some that have rebuilt stone homes that are over 500 years old.
Many of the places in the USA that were inexpensive retirement destinations are now more expensive than my home in NH. This is not the case in Spain, Portugal and Italy.
Especially in the southern half of Italy. Even within walking distance of the Mediterrenian or Adriatic.
Even the higher end properties are significantly cheaper in Italy. Places that would be Multiple Millions in the USA are $400-500K in Italy.
So, it is not just stupid liberals thinking about leaving the USA.
