    “If Obama wins, I’m leaving the US!”

    “Ok but really this time, if Obama wins again, I’m leaving the US!”

    “If Biden wins, I’m leaving the US!”

    “If Mamdani wins, I’m leaving New York!”

    “If AOC wins, I’m leaving the US!”

    Same story we’ve heard a dozen times before. Yawn, I’m bored.

        Record number of Americans are leaving the country and renouncing their citizenship for good, report says.

        In 2025, the flow of Americans ditching the 50 states for good caused the first estimated net outward migration of the U.S. population in decades, something that likely hasn’t happened since the 1929 Great Depression.

        Nearly all of the European Union’s 27 member states have seen record levels of Americans arriving to live and work there in recent years, a Wall Street Journal analysis found.

        Outside of Europe, Mexico is another popular destination.

            I think the Americans who are moving to Europe are mostly more on the left side of the fence in American politics. Which is not very good for America (fewer voices of dissent to the current regime). But I can’t really blame them. It’s fucking exhausting and stressful living here right now.

        The difference is, that’s due to legitimate fear of persecution or other harm, not having a petulant tantrum.

    Had to look up who jesse waters was. Who cares if some fox news commenter leaves. He’s threatening the whole country with a good time.
