I can't imagine Republicans being happy in any European country I've been to with the possible exception of Poland. Poland is the whitest country I've ever been in, so they'll like that. Much of their population are still Catholic (in the real, I go to mass and pray to Jesus regularly and not the fake French, I'm Catholic way). The Poles are also pretty militaristic and they see a boogie man under every bed (in their case, it's a Russian one), so Republicans should fit right in there too. They recently elected a conservative party "Law and Justice" which supports a ban on abortion and is being criticized for curbing freedom of the press. So that should jive well with a Republican's anti freedom pro authoritarian mindset. I think the deal breaker is going to be guns. Poland has strict gun laws like other EU nations.
I agree. The Polish Tea Party has totally taken over the country and I think our Republicans would like it over there despite some Socialism.
Yeah right.......which side gets most of their money from Saudi Arabia......Hillary has received a good portion, what is she promising them? Hint; the left is not as open to everyone's diverse views as you seem to think. You just keep thinking this, the surprise will be on you, not the rest of us.
As a Republican I haven't ever thought of leaving America. I have no plans to leave, even if the moochers on the left win!

So from your post Republicans are all white, Catholic or conservative?
Seems it is the left who would fit in easy to these non-gun countries. Hillary and Obama were at one time against gay marriage and always for abortion, something they could teach other countries on population control.
As a non-American interested in American politics, I can confidently say that Republican attitudes are incompatible with just about anywhere outside the U.S. in the Western world. They would have a hard time assimilating in my country and many others.
Even our right-wing party would be too "liberal" for them.
I agree. Many things like higher taxes, gun laws, national healthcare will drive them nuts.

Wildly antisemitic and racist as well. I'll never forget being in an Easter market in Krakow just steps from the Jewish Quarter with full artist's stalls of people selling figurines of penny pinching Jews with stereotypical huge noses. I had more than a few people mutter wildly antisemitic things under their breath, not knowing several of the Americans they were speaking to knew Polish, when asking for things without bread/pasta/rice in them during Passover. Plus people who kept asking me how we voted an "n*****" as president.
Seems like a certain subset of the Republican party would fit right in. "Just telling it like it is" and all of that jazz.
The rich call the shots, Christianity is officially acknowledged as a core part of the nation's identity, the gays are kept firmly in the closet, there are no pesky environmental or other regulations for resource extraction. Taxes are low and low-income people have the decency to mostly waste away out of sight. Plus - Putin, a strong man's strong man. Oh, and the military being the #1 foreign relations tool.

Around election time there's always a dramatic discussion on both sides which countries they would move to if the other side won.
For Democrats the usual suspects are Canada and the Western EU countries and Aus/NZ.
However it's never discussed in detail what countries Republicans might move to.
So Republicans, what foreign countries might potentially be a good fit that currently reflect policies close to the GOP platform?
Bill O'Reily mentioned Ireland but I don't know how that will work.
No country would actually want them!
