Wait until it happens. I can’t count the number of people who dramatically stated they’d relocate to another city or country if some politico or other was elected and never followed through. Most people who say that are all talk and no walk…
i agree that it is not going to happen, but relocating to a different city is massively easier than relocating to a different country (still not easy)

Add one to the tally, zorra. Brexit made me leave the UK
It’s ironic that they would move to another country because someone they perceive as an immigrant has been elected. Then again these people are not well endowed in the brain department.
Americans are not the world’s favourite group of people right now, so I suspect emigrating would be difficult, unless they want to go and fight Russia’s war for them then I’m sure they’ll be welcome.
Oh, these people don’t walk. Presumably they’ll be chauffeured.
If you quit, I’m quitting!
Also never happens.
Other disappointments when people didn’t flee from a lost election:
(He also said it in 2024 in reference to Harris… such a missed opportunity)
To be fair, if he had lost in 2024 he may have had to face sentencing for all the felonies (also probably not though)
It should not have taken 4 years to sort through his shit.
The fact that the legal system is so slow is part of the problem. He just needs to send a couple yes men to court to straight up lie for a bit and then it’s another 6 months to call him on the lie.
The courts are only that slow because they want to be. Plenty of peons got trials and served sentences for shit in the time they were fucking around going after trump. They didn’t want to try him, and we’re waiting out the clock in the hopes he’d win so the charges went away, and it worked.
When you’re a celebrity they let you do it
Nah, he would have just won against her in 2028 (if he hadn’t choked to death on a hamberder before then).
TACO.
I haven’t looked it up because I’m lazy, and for the past couple days that people have been calling him taco, I’ve been trying to remember what it stood for. The best I’ve gotten is “Trump asshole cunt… O… Range?”
Tiny anus cop orifice
Wth does it stand for? At this point, I’m determined to either be told or remember?
Trump always chickens out
Ahh yes ty
Always thought it was a reference to this:

You’re far too creative
I’m far too censored for that
Taking A Cruise Overseas
That was when he thought he’d actually be prosecuted for his crimes.
Then he realized it was all talk - just one mugshot and a fine.
1,000,000 claim they are going to pack up, sell their homes, find employment in another city, and move… but they couldn’t be bothered to vote? Bunch of snowflakes.
Probably can’t vote in NYC because their legal residence is already Florida, Nevada, or somewhere without income tax. And they won’t leave because The Villages just doesn’t have the food, parties, or culture that NYC has.
That doesn’t necessarily stop them. Republicans love committing voter fraud.
Nobody is leaving. This is a Post story. They’re bloviating nonsense artists.
I’m sure they found a couple tweets about it (or paid some bots if they were real keen)
From what I can tell it only takes 10 or twenty tweets for the media to latch on and pump out a story about it.
It’s the same when a comedian complains about being “cancelled” because 5 people said their joke sucks on Twitter.
Lol, I live in California, and sometimes catty Republicans like to make snide comments about how they don’t want to live here because of the “politics”.
Every time I hear this, I get excited. Like… “Really? Where do you live? Is it nice? Go the fuck away please.”
i’m laughing harder at the posts from TX saying ‘the south is full, so don’t come down here when NY turns into a communist hellhole’.
“oh no, my rent is frozen! we’ve got to get out of here!”
“where are we gonna go?”
“mexico… ish”
I always laugh when conservatives describe Cali as a “shit hole”. Yes, that’s exactly why property is so cheap in California, because nobody wants to live in such an awful place.
Surf, perfect weather year round, best fresh food, horrible. No tax in Delaware!
Plenty of tax in Delaware for people.
As if tax free Delaware is Shangri la. No one writes songs about Delaware weather or women.
I really wish conservatives would leave progressive areas alone. They’re constantly attacking California, and cities across the US. Their goal isn’t to raise the standard of living in their own communities, but to make the rest of the country worse
Call.
That’s the biggest bs bluff if I’ve ever seen one.
Same kinds of people who flee to Russia to avoid DEI and other “western degeneracy”. It’s probably for the best. Or it would be if any of them had the balls to act on their idiotic words.
Oh my god! Affordable food and housing!
runs away
I’ll take one housing, please!
i have a van housing, but it tends to kill van pires. you’re not a van pire, are you?
Van pires?? I didn’t know they burned!
for sure. but you have to somehow convince the head van pire to cook you sausages on the stove.
With enough accelerant anything will burn.
I think NYC is going to have more of a problem of people moving to the city thanks to Mamdani
So are rent prices going to increase? He’s already making everything worse already \s
WE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED
If I wasn’t tied down to this red state…☹️
I feel you :(
I pay less than $1,000 a month in rent and utilities in the midwest. I work fully remotely and could afford NYC, but moving there would cost me more than 3x as much to live. Even though I hate midwest suburbia so much, I plug in that $2,000/month into an investment calculator and it feels impossible to move. It’s the difference between maybe retiring at 65 and retiring at 50

You didn’t specify old or new so I call the new one
I thought “One World” meant it’s the new one? 🤔
I moved away from USA when Trump won the first presidency. So not all of us are bluffing.
how hard was it
Incredibly hard. I have 2 dogs, 40 years worth of shit(it’s mostly shit). We moved to Taiwan which had major implications on bringing in animals since there’s no rabies here. I had three cars, two motorcycles and two homes that I owned. We ended up selling one of the house and rented the other one out so one day we can come back.
During this time, I had a 2 year old. Asian hate was very strong and people were getting attacked for just existing. We saw the writing on the wall and decided that this was a good time to make our exit.
America progressively got worse after that. I think we made the right decision.
Do you have any advice for people who are in the country looking to get out, like were there any pathways to getting into taiwan you’re able to share?
I run my own business so it wasn’t a hard transition from the USA. But I know many expats here and it’s quite simple to get a “Gold Card” which is Taiwan’s version of the green card.
There is a list of professions that they are looking for and if your income is a certain amount in the US(i think 80k or so), you can apply for it here. A few years ago they were bringing in alternative energy people. So many of my friends are in the wind industries.
Income is not as high as America, but (outside of rent)cost of living is 1/5. So it’s all relative.

I was born here so I have citizenship. But there is no place I rather be.
Democracy in Taiwan is quite young(1997) so the government is still very caring to their citizens. Everyone is nice and respectful.

Not at all. Taiwan is harder to invade than Ukraine. We have the Taiwan Strait which is very choppy most of the year. We have very few landing sites for ships to land. We also have mountains that our military can retreat to and change to guerrilla warfare. Bombing the shit out of us is meaningless since our infrastructure is what is valuable, not our natural resources.
Plus, unlike Ukraine, we have the support of the allied forces. Not just the US. But Japan, Korea, and all the SE countries like Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia(which they are currently doing a soft invade with their claim to the South China Seas). France, Germany, UK, are all aligned with us. Even if the US sells us out.
You should come visit and enjoy the Taiwan hospitality. Enjoy the original China culture. Try and make a life here. I did and I love it.
The list of countries where Americans can legally migrate to (permanently) is very short. I bet OP “chose” Taiwan due to some personal circumstance not applicable to most Americans
It all depends on what you bring to the table for the country. A couple of my expat friends are in the wind/ solar industry. All engineers.
You mean your immigrant friends?
And yes, the more prepared and richer your friends are, the better the options… But still, it is not like all countries in the world are waiting with open arms.
The life of most immigrants is at least a bit uphill
Unfortunately, that is the case. Unless you have a skill that the country needs, that country is reluctant to bring you in.
But I will say that the requirements for a gold card is pretty open. It’s not just engineers and IT. Artists and performers. Teachers and firefighters are all on the list.
My kid’s English teacher(from UK) and French(France) teachers got Gold cards with only a few years teaching i their countries.
