Spike in American's interest in moving abroad post election -- hot air yet again?

[On-my-way-Home]

A perspective on Trump having such a huge level of capability, a level that transcends not only ALL Democrats but also ALL Republicans.  He whoops ‘em all with ease.   And for guys like me who understand crowd psychology we know that 2016 was only Wave#1 up.  Then came a brutal  Wave#2 down into 2024.  Trump suffered bigtime into 2024.  This is what happens in a Wave 2.  

 

Trump is now in Wave #3 UP.    Third waves are magical in that full throttle just breaks new records on and on.

 

 

Is there a industry or sphere in which I can demonstrate this concept of a third wave?

 

Yes, in a music concert with the likes of Eric Clapton & co.  They were all there.  But none was Trump.

 

Trump enteted at 3:29 & took off like a wave 3 rocket.  His name is Prince 😏😏👍

Sorry, Eric Clapton not in this version 

 

but when Eric was told he was the greatest guitarist of all time he replied, “I think you’ll have to ask Prince about that”

Remember when we left America?  Each one has his own story.  Now for us, LOS lovers, rekindle thst moment when LOS first thrilled your soul and you thought “yeah, baby, this is it”

Trump’s victory sparks Indian real estate boom, six ‘Trump Towers’ planned across India

 

Gosh, when Trump rescinds income taxes on social security, even YOU can afford to live in the lap of luxury. 

 

Winning!

 

 

 

Wasn't biden the deciding vote on taxing social security payments?

I was kind of hoping that more of the Trumpians living in Thailand might go home now that the coast is clear and America will become great again.

I left when US started idiotic war in Iraq. Took 90% funds w me.

2 yrs ago Idiot Putin started idiotic war and I was sure Ukraine will fall fast and EU would be in disorder.

I'm happy I was wrong.

However, it ain't over yet.

To secure my hard earned money I moved 90% back to the US. I don't trust EU banks nor military & NATO.

 

Now I sit on the fence and enjoy Thailand and Vietnam, and soon Cambodia and Philippines too.

No plans, just go with the flow and follow my erratic and impulsive ADHD & SAD brain 🙂

PS. Actually, SAD is out of commission thanks to Thailand sun shine.

They cannae go back despite being thrilled that America will be great again!  Why so?  Because LOS is greater still, has always been so for decades in a rising trend of greatness.

 

IMHO, we now have 2 great ones, USA & LOS aka LOW (Land of Wars) & LOS.  Now however we can change the name of the former from LOW to LOG (Land of Greatness)

After reading the first page of posts, this appears to be a US politics topic, so under forum guidelines I've moved it to Political Soapbox.

Americans leaving, if any, will be dwarfed by foreigners dying to go to the US next year if not already

You seem to be brain dead or more!  Who gives a FF what people Google!  If people want to leave claim to leave whether Trump is in charge or not that is their right!  Why on earth would you continue your nonsense by posting a link.  So people Google how many is actually going to leave and when they do for sole reason of a person they don't like " Take let the door hit you on the way out "

Get a F life!

Don’t worry friends, THOSE back home don’t have the fortitude/guts/desire/capability to LEAVE, to simplify their lives, to cut the chord with excessive materialism etc., to move to Chiang Mai.    It takes a savvy American to appreciate the gem that is Chiang Mai. Such Americans are already here & generally wake up each day smiling for many reasons but the para below brings on the deepest mirth & chuckle

 

May Chiang Mai continue to have so much more to discover!  😏

Expanding on the red - blue self sorting that as you agree is definitely a big thing in the U.S. a problem I have found with that is that blue areas tend to be much more expensive!

I have a little hobby of always having a short list of possible U.S. destinations I might move back to if I'm forced to for whatever reason and in my case they need to be as low budget as possible!

 

So by necessity my lists are always dominated by places that are very red. Now of course not all people in even very red areas are red, but moving where you don't really belong isn't at all ideal.

I have lived in more red areas before but nothing extreme. 

You know the kind of place where the first thing people ask is what church do you go to.

There are also some options in some blue cities, but they tend to be places with high crime and cold weather.

So really not so great.

 

       Take a look at the Electoral College map that a member posted early in the thread.  Most red states also have blue areas, including all of the warmer southern states.  So, you could pick a blue area in, say, Florida or one of the other warm weather states.  

       The problem with the EC is it leaves a very damaging false impression.  A state can lose the presidential election by one vote and, suddenly, it is either a blue or a red state.   Do I move if my once blue state is now red in this election, or vice versa?   Not me.  Other far more important considerations would determine where I would choose to live in the US, if I still lived there.  

       Recently saw some stats that showed Dems and Reps made up around 32% to 33% of the voters and Independents/No answer were around 35%.  So, in most states, you're not going to be overrun by either Dems or Reps.  There will be a mix of both, plus lots of Independents.

Some issue.

A decent home for sale or rent in the blue Atlanta Georgia area costs a lot more than in a deep red area of Georgia such as Marjorie Taylor Greene's district.

See previous posts on Thai Baht

 

We’re moving right along soon to hit 35 Baht/$

 

Its steep angle if ascent, which is great but its not sustainable so we get get a small downwave before continuation up resumes

 

Remember my call is USD-THB going to pass well beyond 50

 

If its pans out Americans will be happy to have so much more Baht to the $

 

 

 

 

[On-my-way-Home]

Notice on the MACD the steep lift off in the last few days?   That’s horsepower baby

 

Don’t get all bent out if shape if there is a corrective sub-wave.  Waves work that way

 

 

[On-my-way-Home]

Americans leaving USA to flock to LOS?   Hahaha,  not so fast, baby.  It will take months for travel agents to even notice the Baht getting weak.  Then & only then Americans will see, “Thailand is a bargain”

 

But then again,  if I’m correct, the Dollar will be hammering ALL south east asian currencies.  So the entire region will be a bargain
 

 

[On-my-way-Home]

There will be a spike in moving here if they see the simplicity of MY life!  😏

 

Sold everything stateside down to just my desktop computer & 1 suitcase stored with a friend.   Feels sooooo light.   
 

Said goodbye to playing the Mammon game.   
 

Dinner for 140 Baht total …….    brown rice, Tom Kha Khai with coconut milk and loads of veggies & fish plus beetroot:carrot/celery/pineapple fresh juice in a humble lively Thai place.  I felt at HOME

 

The foolish extravagant lifestyle of California has ended for me.
