I don't get this. Most of these people were presumably conservatives, that were unhappy with Obama's election, but at the same time, most of their ideological/political views would seem incompatible with living anywhere other than the US.
[ I realize that this is probably horrible stereotyping, but I would be interested to talk to someone that held this view. ]
