If Trump is reelected, Americans are planning to flee in droves

…….. 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.

They always promise to leave, but they never do. Unfortunately.

Were that it was so...

They won’t go anywhere. These people with the emotional maturity of a 3-year old have a temper tantrum, and hold their breath. They’ll give up and remain, unfortunately.

When Trump is elected the weaponizer seditionists will have to flee or make lasting payment for their crimes against the Republic.

Swift, that is quick, justice must be administered. Their lamentations and whining must be heard all across the land.

Wouldn’t this be wonderful? Rid our nation of a lot of Marxists?

Wouldn’t happen anyway.

& no way they’ll let Trump in. Vote manipulation still under their control.

Shouldn’t that be a royal crown in place of that hat? How long before “they” reveal his plans to suspend the constitution and declare himself royal potentate for life? And plenty of the antis would believe it.

“I’ve read expat life in the Phillipines can be lovely and very reasonable”

I plan on going back full time the summer of 2025 regardless of who wins the election I can get VA care in Manila and have always liked that part of the world since Uncle Sam sent me for my summer trip...

Has nothing to do with the election been going there for decades just finally getting old enough to settle down..

HOW stupid do you have to be to complain your Italian power company will NOT accept payments on your American Credit Card???

BEYOND STUPID

There are vendors here in the USA that DO NOT accept credit cards.
