…….. Every four years, as Americans gird themselves to choose a president, there's talk, mainly among Democrats, of leaving the country. I'm off for Canada if unacceptable candidate X wins! And every four years, the promised exodus fails to materialize. It's mostly just therapeutic venting.
This time is different.
The alarm over Trump's potential triumph in November is far starker than the fears stoked by past presidents. "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable," a recent Washington Post headline warned. The Atlantic devoted an entire issue to the authoritarian horrors in store for America "If Trump Wins." Every four years or so, Gallup asks Americans ages 15 and up: "Ideally, if you had the opportunity, would you like to move PERMANENTLY to another country?" At the end of George W. Bush's presidency, the number responding "yes" was 11%. During Barack Obama's tenure, it was 10%. During Trump's presidency, it hit 16%. That's some 40 million Americans who wanted to leave their country behind, for good.
……….
In fairness, those who flee America to escape MAGA may find themselves confronted by a host of unpleasant surprises. The headaches start with the red tape. On any given day, my Expats in Italy Facebook group teems with the sort of questions that can drive a novice foreign-property owner batty. Why won't my Italian utility company let me pay my bill with a US credit card? (Answer: Because it won't.) Property bidders must have their offers officially registered with the local municipality and verified by the godlike person known as the "notaio," an official of ancient standing who drafts and authenticates the raft of documents for a fair-size fee.

Try Ukraine.
There are probably some openings in Mexico, Venezuela, El Salvador, Somalia, etc. for them.
You know, I have to put up the with the governments they have vomited up the past several decades, including the all-time low of the current regime, and I have never once considered leaving. I am an American. America is home.
How I hope they do.
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please!!
I think we should reconsider our election laws. If you choose to not live here, you don’t get to vote here. Of course exceptions for people serving our nation.
Yes, please. Just leave and take their comrades with them.
They always promise this, never deliver...
If Noe Sh@tbag is reselected the wife and I leave the US. One daughter is in the UK, one in Singapore and one in Shanghai. We’ll choose one
please do- the nation will be much much better off if you do!
Actually, some do. They are leaving California and “gentrifying” Mexico City and Portugal. Pissing off the natives there because the ugly Americans are buying up all of the expensive property and kicking out the natives.

yawn...
Which is why he said he'll be dictator on day one.
It’s all talk - they never leave.
Until China comes knocking on the door.
They can follow the trailer of illegals to the south. And good riddance to them. Too bad they won’t actually leave and nobody really wants them anyways
You read my mind!
Yes. The lying sacks of crap say this every time and never follow through.
Drama queens. It’s all about feelings these days.
Hope springs eternal!
I hope President Trump gets Hugo Boss to craft his uniform.
