Thsts like saying someone with viral pneumonia needs to be shot.

I hope that I won't see as hopefully he won't take power.

50,000 isn't chopped liver.

Yeah they were. The article is not so much about celebrities as masses of more typical people.

I get what you're saying but it's more affordable than Puerto Vallarta.

For people that are motivated to leave by politics, it would occur to them. I have met many Americans abroad over the years who have been motivated to leave by politics. But the vast majority have been right wingers.

Historically most American expats do move to Mexico, but there are many other countries on the radar including Thailand, and qualifying for Mexico is now significantly MORE expensive than Thailand. You're making a prediction that there won't be an effect. I think it's possible but I do not know.

So if they do come in a big wave how will you feel as an American about so many new anti maga American expats?

That's what Putin says about the millions of Russians who have fled his dictatorship.

The article makes a case it will be different this time.

Well more maga Americans are moving to Russia now. Maybe they won't feel the need if Trump takes power.

I make no predictions but this article suggests that yes more really will. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-reelected-americans-are-planning-to-flee-in-droves-2024-3 "Fleeing Trumpland As the presidential election looms, millions of Americans are eyeing the exits." Personally when I left the USA the political situation in the US had nothing to do with it. In fact I was happy with the political situation there at the time. Before Trump of course.

That's debatable.

Bunch of fictions.

A few things. Trump is lying. He always lies. If the specifics of the debate are proposed, he will object to it. Also, he's playing a cynical game which seems to suggest there should be debates BEFORE the candidates are nominated by their parties. Naturally, no president would ever agree to that.

No.

Because watching TV and golfing isn't working.

Trump cultists will believe anything.

I hope she stays in till the bitter end.

Polls schmolls.

Yeah he doesn't seem to know much. For his purposes he should prioritize paths to permanent residency and citizenship. Nowhere in Asia. Possibilities in Latin America.

I doubt Israelis are going to agree to rewarding a Palestinian state based on the October 7 barbarism. Palestinians already know they can milk hostages. For any hope of that Hamas will need to be completely out of the picture. Doesn't seem likely.

I support people from the west considering moving abroad for financial arbitrage motivations, especially retirees, successful digital nomads, etc. Housing costs in the U.S., Canada, U.K. etc are ruinous. However people need to be realistic and understand that no target country is a paradise and they need to be realistic about how they are going to support themselves, as the place may be cheaper but it sure won't be free, especially if working in the local economy (plus of course visas). So you solve some problems leaving, but you gain some new problems as a trade off.

I would like to suggest the youtube channel of Jake Broe. While some may accuse it of being pro Ukrainian propaganda and he is very open about his bias, it remains a very compelling source of daily war updates, human interest items, political commentary, and also not shying away from reporting good news for Russia and bad news for Ukraine when it happens. He is politically conservative republican type of American but extremely anti-maga based on their batting for Putin. While on the subject I also suggest: Inside Russia Zack the Russian Professor Gerdes Explains Silicon Curtain Vlad Vexler (probably an acquired taste)

He scares me so I can imagine how kids would feel.
