With the return of President Donald Trump to the White House, panicked liberals fearful of a Fascism that never seems to happen outside of their fervid imaginations are seeking an escape route via obtaining foreign citizenship. Also key to their escape from Orange Man Bad is getting foreign passports as chronicled on Monday in the New Yorker by Lauren Markham, "Seeking a Second Passport."

The subtitle only adds to the hilarity of their inflated paranoia: "For some Americans, citizenship in a country their ancestors fled is now an insurance plan."

It turns out that this is mostly PERFORMATIVE ART. They go through the motions of getting the paperwork such as the foreign passports and then they don't actually ACT on it and leave for good.

[Redleg Duke]

AMF!

[nuconvert]

Getting dual citizenship isn’t the same as giving up US citizenship

[Williams]

Bunch of psychos.

They live in a fantasy world of books being banned.

Meanwhile they want to take away everyone’s rights.

[Uncle Miltie]

Yay!

I voted for this!

[yldstrk]

Exactly. Bye!

“It turns out that this is mostly PERFORMATIVE ART. They go through the motions of getting the paperwork such as the foreign passports and then they don’t actually ACT on it and leave for good.”

Yep, gotta virtue signal! I wish they would act. It would be best case for this country if they would actually leave.

[albie]

All theatre. They yearn for people to pay attention and beg them not to go.

[beef]

so, if we don’t do everything exactly as they say, they are going to pick up and move away and we will be very, very sorry!

NOT!

What a load of performative crap.

[JBW1949]

Liberal democrat communists....Make America Great Again (MAGA)...LEAVE!!!!!!!

[motor_racer]

Correct. Dual citizenship should be eliminated. If you want to be a citizen elsewhere, you should have to renounce your US citizenship.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Their American citizenship needs to be pulled. NO MORE “DUAL cITIZENSHIT”. YOU’RE AN AMERICAN OR YOU ARE NOT AMERICAN. Why does one need dual citizenshit anyway?

[bray]

If they win they will jail all their political prisoners to ensure Democracy.

[Islander7]

Dual citizens should lose their voting rights! No divided loyalties allowed. You are either 100% or Zero.

[GOPJ]

Getting dual citizenship isn’t the same as giving up US citizenship...

Maybe we should raise money and offer democrats free tickets if they'll give up their US citizenship.

[Libloather]

How can I miss ‘em if they never leave?

[hal ogen]

Better yet they should leave the USA forever, turning in their passports and swearing to never return.

I am so tired of these nitwits blabbering on about their fears of fascism here. What idiots.

See ya!

[antidemoncrat]

As we used to say: “Good riddance to bad rubbish”

[Vaduz]

Isn’t most of New Yorke already foreign citizenship.

[GingisK]

It should be.
