moon,

Lol no they aren’t

Paragone,

the economy tanks b4 the election, for the lower 99%…

Nearly nobody who wants out will be able to afford to leave.

House-of-cards is “supposed” to last until after the election, but won’t.

slurpeesoforion,

Where are they going that won’t tell them to go back where they came from?

kux,

for any foreign powers (i know you’re reading this) preparing to nuke the usa

my wife and I closed on a deal for an apartment in a hilltop town in Umbria

Yes, it’s true! I bought a hilltop village home

wild-boar ragù, anyone?

please spare a bomb for this hilltop

GiddyGap,

I’m definitely planning to get out if Trump somehow manages to win the electoral college.

I happen to also have an EU citizenship. Seems to be many reasons to leave either way.

Reminder: Trump, being an insurrectionist, is barred from office by the Constitution. Any attempt to install him needs to be dealt with harshly and immediately, in no uncertain terms. Such violations of our most sacred foundational law cannot be tolerated. Then again, the GOP knows this, which is why we need to pay double attention to their VP candidate.

FreakinSteve,

Everyone needs yo keep in kind that all of the US’s problems are caused by 1-Capitalism, and 2-Christianity.

If you are moving to a place that celebrates those things then you are just moving sideways

kava,

America under Trump is still better than most of the world. Take it from someone born in a 3rd world country.

And if you have the qualifications and/or skills necessary to migrate to 1st world countries like in Europe… you’re making a good wage here and have little reason to leave here anyways.

deur,

What a clueless take on a complex situation! To top it all off your argument is “b-but some countries are worse!!”

Brilliant!

kava, (edited )

You can try actually saying something instead of the mild attempt at being disparaging

I’ll repeat it

a) the countries that most working class Americans can escape to aren’t any better and functionally worse. you ever live in a country that doesn’t have hot water or A/C?

b) the countries they want to go to won’t accept them. have you ever tried to immigrate anywhere? it’s not simple and there are requirements that most Americans simply will not meet

EatATaco,

The argument of the submission is that people would leave because things would be worse here. It makes perfect sense to point out that it you leave, it’s likely going to be worse, maybe in a few way or maybe in many.

KillingTimeItself,

america under trump is better than uh, iran, probably. any place that actively seeks out it’s citizens to silence them. Yeah.

For now.

FreakinSteve,

No they’re not

DarkSpectrum,

With what money? That country keeps all it’s people poor.

rab,

I’d trade my Canadian passport for an American one if anyone is interested

KillingTimeItself,

i wont trade mine for yours but perhaps we can conglomerate into one person with both canadian and american citizenship?

rab,

No thanks I don’t need the Canada one anymore, dead country

KillingTimeItself,

ok, i’ll just take the canada one then.

Burn_The_Right,

DONE! No takesie-backsies!

I’ve tried to move to Canada for years now, but I’m not young enough or tech-sector enough to qualify.

rab,

Ha Canada tech sector? I’ve just been laid off from that shit for the third time and I’m not even 30 yet

Go south. Canada can’t house or feed you and you will freeze to death in the first winter.

bignate31,

“…Americans are planning to flee in droves, and then will realise they don’t have a passport, don’t know any foreign languages, and don’t know how to get around without a car and will ultimately just stay put.”

skeezix, (edited )

An example of latent american exceptionalism is that Americans (and articles like this written by them) seem to insinuate that Americans have leave to just enter and live in any country they wish, at any time, and live there for nothing more than booking a flight; that the receiving country will roll out the red carpet upon arrival and wipe their ass with silk, simply because they’re American.

Immigrating to a desirable country is usually a tedious and long process. Their acceptance of you for a long term visa will depend on many aspects of yourself and what you have to offer, not simply because there is a big splayed eagle on the cover of your passport.

And then they actually do some research and notice that for almost everyone of them, in almost every country on this planet their quality of living would deteriorate.

edit: Trump getting 2nd term might actually for reals change this though

edit2: Although like the previous time perhaps not ;)

KillingTimeItself,

trump getting elected would certainly change things.

I’m not sure how, and im not sure that it would be good, but a candidate using facist-esque rhetoric in their campaign is not exactly my favorite thing ever.

ColeSloth,

Heard that over the past like 8 elections.

camelbeard,

Same, not going to happen…
