"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.

"If Trump wins I'm leaving US!" was also a thing.

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 hasnโ€™t happened since the 1929 Great Depression.

Nearly all of the European Unionโ€™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.

Yeah, I will show them how much I hate socialism by moving to EUROPE.

ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world · 43 pts · 32d

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.

He's not even taking a salary! As The President!!!

Soup@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 32d (2 replies)

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 โ€œwell-timedโ€ bets and other things that would only make sense if you had insider information.

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

ilinamorato@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 32d

Yeah, I'm aware. I did, in fact, leave the US when he was elected.

MrSelfDestruct@piefed.zip · 10 pts · 32d (1 reply)

A lot of people with money did leave.

ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net · 8 pts · 32d

Yeah, looking at the statistics after Trump won for the second time US citizens started emigrating at record numbers. Good for them.

xSikes@feddit.online · 8 pts · 32d

Just piling on, but yeah, most did leave. I know about a handful of family and friends who left.

So he wants to be an immigrant? Doesn't he hate those?

Triumph@fedia.io · 39 pts · 32d

No no, immigrants are brown. He'd be an expat.

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

Talk about Watters tempting all normal Americans with a good time...

bufalo1973@piefed.social · 5 pts · 32d

No, no, no, no, no! It's YOUR shit. You clean it. We don't want or need more shit in Europe.

Unless he goes to Ukraine... To the front line.

He must be a real fan of hers to do a free campaign ad like that.

VitoRobles@lemmy.today · 13 pts · 32d (1 reply)

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!

She's mad l say! Maaaaad!!!

thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works · 29 pts · 32d

Nah, Europe would be a Socialist Paradise compared the United States.

He should prove his Capitalist bona fides and move to Argentina. He would fit right in.

stumu415@lemmy.zip · 26 pts · 32d (1 reply)

No one will grant him a visa. Russia will take him gladly. He can go suck Putin's dick instead of Trump's tiny mushroom.

Also doesn't he hate Europe with its socialist, liberal system?

DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 32d

I hope he goes to Russia, you know where they'd send him.

DandomRude@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 32d

Tell him he's not welcome here. We have zero tolerance for intolerance and mindless hatred!

I was on the fence about AOC, but now we have a real tangible win. That was the typing point for me! Go AOC!

Don't threaten me with a good time

OpenPassageways@programming.dev · 20 pts · 32d

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.

What I don't get is why did this asshat pick out Paris? In France? I thought that was some socialist/communist hellhole filled with fancy schmancy intellectual surrender-monkeys.

Seems kinda gay for a guy that always seems to be mid-way through a full-blown gay panic.

He legit seems to think a man crossing his legs makes them gay. This is the guy worried about men having soup in public.

I bet his browser history is wild. The guy seems to be suffering from gay panic all the time.

Europeans aren't exactly excited to welcome Americans right now. Good luck getting citizenship in any of our good countries anyway.
