    Maybe he should move to Argentina instead. He could find descendants of like-minded people.

    “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.

                And yet his wealth has grown the most of any president while in office, and his family members keep making bank in the absolute most sketchy ways possible like “well-timed” bets and other things that would only make sense if you had insider information.

    If douchebags like Watters would move the fuck out of the United States that would make having AOC as President 1000x as great.

    Is there a place in Europe that does NOT already have the kinds of policies that AOC supports?

    He’s going to have to flee to Argentina like the rest of the Nazis.

      This might be a great strategy.

      The news gave Trump so much free coverage because of how fucking unhinged he was. We should show the world how insane AOC is, because she wants to do shit like stop treating corporations like people, her disgusting focus on clean energy instead of delicious coal, destroying our thriving Health insurance economy by giving everyone universal healthcare, and ruining the ability for landlords to collect hundreds/thousands of properties by expanding protection to single home owners.

      She’s mad I tell you!
