this is the stupidest thing i keep hearing. everyone who says they're going to leave is absolutely full of shit. they don't know anything about where they will go and they have no plan to do anything like this. they're just being pussies.
It's not stupid. It has happened before. That it hasn't happened "in droves" is one thing, but it has happened.
Source: I have spoken to a few of them.
Where? Europe, South East Asia and, believe it or not, South America.
Do you know who would be full of shit about leaving? Those who say they'd do it if Trump didn't win. I haven't met any Republican expats (or immigrants) just yet.
I'm currently in the process of immigrating to another country from America because of this.
The immigration group I worked with has hard statistics showing a rapid increase in Americans applying for bias with Trump presidency, and his now potential reelection.
Out of a group of ten friends, two of us are getting visas due to trump politics, and two others are going down their family ancestry route for visas into Germany. So that's 40% of the people I know, including myself.
It's not cheap to do this either. It's a real commitment in money, time, energy, and risk. But that's what it takes to have a plan B for if the shit show lands again, because it's a full on dictator ship next round.
