On November 9, the day after Donald Trump won the presidential election, Jamie Lypka said a quiet good-bye to the United States.
Lypka, 27, lives in South Korea, where she moved four years ago to work as an editor for educational materials. Though she’s since married a man born and raised in her adopted country, she says, the couple had planned, on a fuzzy, unspecific timeline, to someday move to the United States. “I want to have kids,” she says, “and I don’t want them to go through the school system” in Korea, where the typical education is high-pressure and brutally competitive. Recently, she had begun to research jobs back in the U.S., thinking she and her husband might move as early as the coming year.
“But now I’m not interested,” she says. Suddenly, the list of pros and cons felt much more weighted towards the latter. Already, there were issues to consider — they’d both be quitting jobs, for one thing, and Lypka, who is recovering from cancer, would be leaving behind a much more affordable health-care system. But now her husband was worried about racism back in the U.S., And Lypka, who grew up on Long Island, no longer felt the pull toward home that she had just 24 hours earlier: “I felt like, whoa, is that who we are? What’s tying me to that?”
It’s a question that plenty of people are now asking in their own ways, about their own places....

It’s all about meeeeeeee.
These people are pathetic.
...you can always move to North Korea or Zimbabwe!
It is still unclear to me what exactly these phuqing people think is going to happen.
We just keep WINNING!!
More than a few of them believe that Donald Trump is an insectoid alien who will bite their heads off at his first opportunity.
She doesn’t want her kids to go to school where it’s competitive. I doubt Detroit will change that much over the next ten years or so.
“All the values of the Midwest — working hard and doing good and being kind — how can you turn your back on that … and vote for someone who has acted against and represents everything that is fundamentally against those values?”
She really is STUPID, Michigan voted Against Hillary
If all of these people would leave and stay gone, we would be infinitely better off.
More fake news. Give us a bio of your subjects.
So much winning!
Door-——>your stupid ass.
I really wouldn’t have a problem with a few extermination facilities to deal with domestic enemies and the mozlum problem.
Only a matter of time until they push us too far.
Doing her part to raise the average IQ in the US.
Oh! My heart is just BREAKING for this poor victim. I’ll get over it, though.
It’s a win in my book. I wish more of them would decide to depart for other countries of their choice. With the stipulation that they must surrender their citizenship and if they want back they will have to stand in line like any other immigrant non citizen.
That's how I've felt the last 8 years.

My sister is a big lib, and her thing is that Trump will somehow screw up foreign policy. It doesn’t even cross her mind to question where tens of millions of “refugees” magically appeared from. How many places in europe and how many cities in america have burnt to the ground over the last 8 years. Middle east is on fire, two bit powers have zero point zero fear of crossing any red line in the sand. We fund and arm enemies of humanity, we are mocked, but Trump is going to fuq everything up. Hello, the globalist powers that be cannot avhieve their goals with a strong america, so, of course, they love o’bunghole who will roll over to the tune of thank you sir may I have another in perpetuity
Echo chamber crap for the deluded, but not persuasive for those who are not propaganda-poisoned.
