| quote | Trump’s historic comeback leads to staggering 1,514% surge in Americans looking to move abroad: study
https://www.aol.com/trump-h...ering-002902162.html
Democrats are finally doing something about migration.
Donald Trump’s historic re-election to the White House led to a staggering number of Americans taking the left’s meltdown one step further by looking to relocate abroad this week.
Since the president-elect’s comeback victory became official on Wednesday, the number of related Google searches jumped 1,514% percent, according to VisaGuide.World.
Between Election Day on Tuesday and Wednesday, search traffic for “immigration”-related pages on the site grew by 338% — with would-be expats zeroing in on the easiest countries to relocate to, the site said.
Other pages that saw major traffic growth were more focused on specific locales — including a 375% interest jump for a guide on moving to the UK from the US and a 355% spike for a page about Ireland.
Scandinavia also appealed to distraught voters, with a Norway guide seeing 437% more attention.
Germany-Visa.org saw a 336% increase in traffic on immigration pages — including special interest in the Chancenkarte, or opportunity card, which allows anyone from a non-European Union country to live in Germany for up to one year to find work.
“Moving to Germany from the US” was 42 times more searched this last week, according to VisaGuide.World.
Searches for “How to move to Europe” were up 1,566%, with inquires about “English-speaking countries” growing by 1,328%.
Based on search data, the most popular countries that Americans may consider moving to include Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Australia.
Costa Rica and Mexico also ranked for those looking to flee the States. |

It's sadly kind of funny... but it's rarely something that actually happens. Most of these people who say they want to move after Republicans win an election are so ignorant of global policies, that they just assume they can up and move to another country. They have absolutely no clue how difficult the process is to relocate without sponsorship (such as with an overseas job, or marriage of someone who's already a citizen, etc.). They just make the assumption that because our policies are so lax, that every other country is too.
I just tried searching for an article I read from 2018, but under Trump's last presidential win, the number of people who actually moved, was indistinguishable from the number of people who move annually, as if it had absolutely no difference whatsoever.
I'd have to assume that much of it is part of the emotional healing process... they experience loss, and want people to sympathize with them, perhaps even say... "No... don't go..." whatever. But these people end up not moving. I even had one of my friends say he wanted to move to Canada.. and then after discovering how difficult it was (aside from if you're a refugee from a 3rd world country), he totally changed his mind.
I did have ONE friend that left when Obama was re-elected. He said the country was being destroyed, but I think it was a confluence of other things. The poor guy had lost his wife from cancer a couple of years before, and his daughter had been killed in a car accident, and his son estranged himself from him, and he had met this really nice lady from Ecuador, so he ended up selling his house, and moving to Ecuador. I think he would have still moved, even if Ronald Reagan came back from the dead and won reelection in a magical 3rd term.[This message has been edited by 82-T/A [At Work] (edited 11-10-2024).]

I was just watching The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly in the garage while working on one of the cars, and I heard a quote that completely evaded me from all the prior times I've seen that movie...
"Why are you working to survive if your work is killing you?"
I was like... hah... damn, that's a good one (totally random and unrelated, but your Western GIF reminded me of it).
