the article, like all other things related to the Slimes is crap. They subjects found it cheaper to live outside of California and Wash State?
That’s it?
One person left in search of more free stuff and two other families think it’s cheaper to live somewhere else othet than a democrat run state.
Junk.. pure journalistic junk.

This is Bull Manure

"she renounced her American middle-class existence in August 2016, fed up with what she described as a stifling, consumerist culture."

She didn't change her life in August 2016 because of Trump's election because Trump wasn't elected until the following November.

And she didn't relocate to some other country.

She went on a grand world tour.

She had a desire to see the world and decided to take a swipe at the president for the hell of it.

The thought process of a liberal.

1. “ Unplugging from the Matrix.”
2. “ Stifling, consumerist culture.”

3. Plans to start a business selling stuff on Amazon to
finance her itinerant lifestyle.

"Ms. Quain, who is in her 40s, owned a children’s play cafe and preschool near Seattle before she renounced her American middle-class existence in August 2016, fed up with what she described as a stifling, consumerist culture."

...While Skyping.

The last paragraph in the article (naturally):

Seeing Latin America has been eye-opening. When Mr. Trump was elected, “we both felt like, ‘Gosh, maybe we want to move to Europe,’” Mr. Jernstrom said from Chile. But “this trip has made me appreciate so much about how much we have in the U.S. It’s made me feel like I want to go back to the U.S. and make things better at home.”

I met one the other day. He is from Westchester County New York and he’s a bridge player. He was visiting my town and I was the volunteer bridge player that day. He moved to Barbadoes because Donald Trump got elected. He said he can play bridge there every day and there is a synagogue where he can pray for his deceased wife.
I actually spent 3 1/2 hours with the guy and that was the only time he mentioned politics.

....fed up with what she described as a stifling, consumerist culture.

...she is now figuring out how to start a business selling products through Amazon to finance the life of an itinerant-by-choice single mother.

Pssst ... it's not hard to figure out. You do it in a consumerist culture

So, where did Lizz with Two Zs get the money to “travel the world”? Lizz with Two Zs, do us a favor and keep on traveling. America doesn’t need hypocrites like you.

Typical liberal NYT response: no substance, just an anecdote. And only the part of the story that supports the narrative gets told. Proving nothing.

“We’re unplugging from the Matrix.”

Right...as she blabs about her Trump-hate over Skype.

Please stay gone...and keep your spawn with you.

This article is so full of contradictions, and I didn't even finish the first story.

Quain did not leave the US because of Trump, she gave up because, in the middle of her liberal utopian community in Seattle, where she owned her own business, she found it a "stifling, consumerist culture."

So she gives up everything to go running around the world in search of a socialist heaven.

But guess what... she needs money and is trying to figure out a way to make money off of those evil consumers in the US.

And, she doesn't want her kids to see her working 100 hrs a week to run her own business because they will think life is all about being worker bees. Instead she wants them to be entrepreneurs...

But wait, owning your own business meant you were an entrepreneur. Really what she wanted was a slower pace of life. She could get that much more easily in the US but she didn't want to live around the people where that type of life thrives. You know, those in the the God fearing, Bible thumping, Gun toting regions.
