Americans are flocking to expat websites after election: 'They want out, fast'
- PenisBanana 2y agounfortunately, we can't - should not ever again - believe anything stated by corporate media. So. . . this (article) is an interesting idea. And that's it.
- quantified 2y agoShouldn't believe that people are looking at the web site?

- tencentshill 2y agoWhy did they compare to 2022? Seems somewhat arbitrary. It wasn't even a comparable election year.
- aksss 2y agoYeah, then they all realize the lift required to move and the changes in lifestyle, inertia wins over irrationality, they stay.

- JSDevOps 2y agoHow much of this is bullshit hyperbole? Let's ask those who were going to leave last time? Less than 0.0001% actually followed through?
- marssaxman 2y agoNot for lack of desire, probably; emigration is really difficult.
- JSDevOps 2y agoIf people were that bothered about Trump they would do it. It's all bullshit it just sound good doesn't it "If Trump wins I'm leaving America yada yada yada"
- marssaxman 2y agoEmigration takes a lot of time and money. Finding a destination country where you could reasonably make a living, which would be willing to accept you, is definitely not a given. It seems completely plausible to me that many people might say "if Trump wins, I'm leaving" with complete sincerity, only to later learn that they cannot actually accomplish this.
- caekislove 2y agoLOL, they write this same article every 4 years.
- 082349872349872 2y agoevery 8 years, maybe: 2020: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2020-10-31%202020-11-05&geo=US&q=new%20zealand%20immigration,expat https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2020-10-31%202... 2016: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2016-11-05%202016-11-11&geo=US&q=new%20zealand%20immigration,expat https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2016-11-05%202...
- xenospn 2y agoJust in case anyone is actually looking to get out - Americans can stay in Albania visa-free for a year. Great people and fantastic coffee.
- jerlam 2y agoIt would be more interesting to see if any countries change their visa or immigration requirements in order to attract some skilled American labor.
