The Washington Post, clearly grappling with the idea of a Trump presidency, has rolled out a guide for Americans who want to hightail it out of here post-election. Yes, folks, the left is at it again with their usual over-the-top dramatics. They’re so rattled by Trump’s win that they’re now offering advice on how to flee to countries with cushy “center-left” governments.
According to the piece, Expatsi—a company that helps Americans live abroad—has seen a major spike in web traffic since the election. Founder Jen Barnett reports “a couple month’s worth of sales” within just a few days. Looks like the “I’m moving to Canada” crowd finally found the send button on their emails.
The Post doesn’t just guide readers on the logistics of immigration but actually gives detailed rundowns on each country’s “political outlook” and “health care” standards, practically begging for a soft landing spot where progressive policies flow freely. They highlight the United Kingdom, where a “center-left” government took over this summer and Britain’s socialized healthcare system is ready to collect surcharges—up to $1,400 a year, just to access the public health system. But I’m sure the folks escaping the “divisive” American system will gladly fork that over in exchange for government-regulated lines.
In Ireland, Canada, and Australia, they assure readers that all is still “socially liberal.” But the Post includes a nervous little warning about New Zealand, where the government swung to the right recently. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s “utopia” with her anti-gun and green policies has given way to the “most conservative government in decades.” Horror of horrors, right?
The Los Angeles Times joined the freakout with a report that Americans, particularly Californians, are fed up with the “divisiveness” of U.S. politics and are preparing to leave the country. Migration expert Amanda Klekowski von Koppenfels claims that even some conservatives have had enough of the “divisiveness” in the country. But let’s be honest—how many conservatives are going to pick up and leave now that Trump’s making a comeback?
So, what’s really going on here? It’s just more virtue-signaling. These folks are upset that America didn’t bend to their demands, and instead of sticking around to work through disagreements, they’d rather find a safe space abroad. But hey, if people are so desperate to trade in their freedoms for a “center-left” haven, let’s not stand in their way. While they pack up, Trump and his supporters will be here working to build a stronger, more united America—an America where people still respect hard work, real borders, and common sense.
