I first saw this each time Bush was elected. So many people vowed to move to Canada if that bastard got elected.
Then the bastard got elected. And Canada reported like a tiny spike in traffic to their immigration information website. I think actual applications were up a statistically insignificant amount.
I guess it’s like the difference between filing for bankruptcy and Declaring It, Michael.
Conversely, many who voted for him are leaving the country by being deported. Bet they didn’t see that coming, although any moron should have because that is what he campaigned on. They just got what they voted for. Hurray.

The “haha, Trump supporters are self-deporting” always seems to put a veneer of schadenfreude over what is a monstrous crime against a population with virtually no democratic representation. The brunt of these ICE assaults are in liberal cities, targeting black and brown people, many of whom are being punished while in the process of following the law. Agents snatching people at court hearings or while filing visa or green card paperwork. Agents assaulting people at hospitals and schools. Agents snatching parents from their children in line at the airport. The overwhelming majority of these residents can’t even vote.
One of the grossest aspects of modern liberalism is this naive need to believe Trump’s policies are some kind of karmic justice. Nothing about this is just. Nothing about it is going to “self-correct”. The nation is being raped and pillaged.
Moving from a state/city to another is relatively easy, at the cheapest (assuming rental apartment) you can. Move from city to city in the US for around 3-6k depending on distance. Leaving the country is much harder, especially if you have items you care about, pets, family… Etc.
Also fuck him its my home the can leave if its so bad. That’s like having a shitty houseguest for an evening and just ceding the property to them.
Some people said similar stuff before Trump was elected and while they didn’t move there are a ton of people being deported
