OPINION: If Mr. Trump takes power will more Americans REALLY leave the US this time?

This article isn't about this but I wonder if President Biden being reelected over Mr. Trump will motivate a wave of super Magas to leave as well? If so where will they go? Russia and Hungary sure but does Thailand have appeal for such extremists?

Did you leave due to Bush?

No. I already mentioned that my move had nothing to with politics. 

 

I don't know what percentage of Americans have left over the years due to politics but some have and some will later.

 

Also worth mentioning is that clearly politics is at least a part of the motivation for many.

 

Follow social media on expatriation and one of the most common reasons of multiple reasons given is to escape the toxicity of political division in the US. That sentiment comes from all types from right to left and the apolitical as well.

So why do you think people will? They just say it to get attention.

I am one person.

I already said I am  not predicting a wave of new expats because of politics after the election but its possible.

Lets say 15,000 go to Thailand. It won't affect you.

Irrelevant. 

This is just a discussion topic.

Why start the topic then?

[Prubangboy]

Funny article on Slate about Republican's fierce -and growing- opposition to recreational sex.

 

That's why I find faux-conservatives who moved to Thailand just to (finally) shag something thin hilarious in their signing on to this dim-witted puritanism -which again, they don't even believe in.

 

Is this the most goofy of their many turkeys voting for Christmas contortions?

 

But back to the topic. I'm still involved a bit with a refugee resettlement organization. Those people are the most apolitical I have ever met.

 

Refugee's will go anywhere and do anything. I've seen them bring back moribund Trumpian S-holes from collapse. They're not "poisoning the blood", they're doing your laundry.

 

TrumpTrash don't want to get laid and they don't want their laundry done. What exactly do they want?

 

I keep asking, but they never say. I think it's down to them mistaking their dopey, made up rage for a testosterone surge.

 

Like the retards here who impotently physically threaten me on the internet. Like a giant boxing glove on a spring is going to pop out of my laptop screen and (finally) "deliver retribution", like they love to say.

 

Too funny.

 

No need to flee the HandMaiden State of Alabama to move overseas. Just go somewhere where they're not suffering Jesus Derangement Syndrome. Generally speaking, you can leave these dumps and just drive 200 miles to a blue-ish suburb.

I might go back if Trump is elected. I have no idea why anyone would want to leave unless they lived in a Democrat run city with sky high crime and sky high taxes. But the sensible decent people are moving to places like Taxes and Florida that are gaining population while the Illinoises and Californications of the country are left to rot with illegals and minorities and Dumbocrats.

That's what the poor folk who can't afford to go back say. It's nice having money and oprions.

It's not a difficult choice between living in a tent city or car in the US, or living comfortably in Thailand.

I'm curious, what exactly is a super Maga in your opinion? When did patriotism become a bad idea?

Magas aren't patriots. 

The origin of America First in the American context are pro Hitler isolationists.

Now under Trump we have pro Putin isolationists. On top of that magas are against the peaceful transfer of power, believe in the most insane conspiracy theories imaginable, and basically worship one man as if they're in a cult of personality (like Mussolini)

This is true. But you're talking about a more common motivation -- economics.

While politics no doubt touches everything, I don't consider moving to achieve a decent quality of life to be political in motivation.

I left decades ago. Would kinda like to return, but won't as the US is massively divided. With those on the right getting violent. January 6th was but one example.

When Biden wins, how many Trump followers will fight, rather than leave the US?

That's because they are in LOS, a far better country in many aspects than the one they left. Thailand does not and likely never will agree that a man dressed as a woman is in fact a female. Nor have they, IMO, bought into "man made climate change", and are not spending millions they do not have to build cycle paths, or allowing millions of illegal immigrants into their country.

If U tube is the only supporting site, one suspects it's made up. The onus is on posters making a claim of fact to prove it, or it isn't true.

[herfiehandbag]

I think perhaps, a more telling figure will be how many consider leaving say 3 years in to a possible second term, when the inevitable campaign for him to remain in office starts to swell!

 

Personally I suspect that American politics is going to take a very different turn if he is elected this November. Emasculated checks and balances, a subservient and certainly less representative (gerrymandered) congress, and the political mastery of the judiciary will change things...

 

Once he is back in, it will be very difficult to get rid of him - a line of succession will certainly be established. He will remain a political presence...

Sadly, even the Dems are bailing those crapholes and moving to Texas and Florida, then trying to duplicate the conditions they just fled.

That's funny. You're trying to imply that to be a patriot you need to be MAGA. Just go ahead and drink the Koolade and get it over with. MAGA is a cult and it has nothing to do with patriotism.

Lots of bloggers are only on YouTube. It's not news, just their opinions and stories. Some are amazing. I follow many as they travel around the world. Not made up. But not pure news
