Well if you're really wealthy like Marc Rich's ex-wife, you can donate millions and buy your husband a pardon while he's living in an expensive villa overseas and on the FBI 10 most wanted list....then give up your US citizenship to duck out on tens of millions in future taxes and establish residency somewhere in Europe.

Besides, 2020 is a bust for me as far as Biden is concerned. Here's hoping 2024 has better options.
After 2016 and now 2020 I admire that level of optimism and wish I that that happy of a buzz going on right now myself.

Personally, which is worse...getting a d-bag like Trump who came through the nomination process or having the party so locked up by insiders that they basically pre-select a Hillary or Biden to run and then force it to happen instead of giving some of the younger people a shot.

It's no secret that Americans leave America when they don't like the President in office. And I imagine no President in our history has been more revered or reviled than Trump. Is anyone here on CD who is in the reviled camp planning to apply for permanent residency in Canada or elsewhere if Trump is reelected, which I am almost sure he will be?
I do not subscribe to your numbers nor theory/view.

However I will bet dollars to donuts you will not renounce your citizenship, much less leave America if Trump is reelected.
So are you willing to put your money where your mouth is?
If so we can establish your citizenship and residency in the the interim, and then we will see if you actually leave, or just talk smack like most of the leftists in Hollywood like Alec Baldwin.

Wow, that was some brutal condescending snobbery.

Why didn't you list Milwaukee or Detroit? Too many of some other group you find unsavory besides the people that you call hillbillies?

Well in Cher's defense she probably looked into after the election and found out Jupiter was a planet having been confused by references to Europa's proximity to it.

I would say about the same amount as conservatives who threatened to leave when Obama was re-elected.

Last I heard, the Clintons were going to Canada.

Canada is a lot more popular than you think.
