With the election decided, are those claiming fraud moving out of the country? (enemies, illegal)

Uh, in case you haven't noticed, there have been mass quantities of outrage, bitter tears and threats from Trumpistas since Biden won.
And I mean mass quantities!
Has there been screaming and crying in the streets, buildings windows being broken, freeways blocked by those protesting the outcome like your side did in the last election?
Threats to MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY? No, sorry. Pay attention.
The only reason that is, is because there are no good countries for conservatives to threaten to move to!
If there were some developed nations more conservative than the US, you can be sure there'd be plenty of conservatives threatening to move there (and like the liberals, they would almost certainly end up being empty threats). But alas, the only nations more conservative than the US are either semi-developed nations (such as in eastern Europe) or developing nations (such as Egypt or Chile).
What - is a conservative going to threaten to move to France? Canada? Sweden? I hardly think so.

When both George Bushes and Ronald Reagan won, democrats were not protesting in the street. Trump was a special case.
Having said that, to some extent, the two elections are a good demonstration of what each side does when they don't get their way and lose to an opponent they highly loathe (or in the case of Trump and the GOP this year, when somebody they worship lost). Democrats protest in the street. Trumpistas threaten election workers and go into denial by concocting bizarre and made up conspiracy theories claiming their side really won.
That is, the democrats accept the results but protest about it.
The republicans go into denial and don't even accept the results at all.
Our forefathers? Mostly by ruthlessly murdering the locals. And I mean....insanely ruthlessly.
So who owns it? You? The government? The people it was taken from? No one?

Secession is the only way they're leaving.

Trump isn't going to do anything. The left tries to make him into a dictator, but he is actually feckless and pathetic. All he does is whine about how the media is mean to him.
The danger isn't actually Trump, it is that Americans hate each other. Many not only think a Civil War will happen, but want it to happen.

A different generation, there were some protests when bush won and there were some to had to have therapy after bush won the second time. There was plenty of denial when Trump won, and it wasn’t a special situation either.
But as I said, the main reason conservatives don't threaten to move somewhere else is, there's nowhere else for them to move to.
No one ever moves. I don't even know why people threaten to move when no one cares anyway. In fact, Republicans would be happy if liberals left. So who is the threat aimed at? The only people who would be upset if a liberal left is another liberal.
Besides, why would you move when you can just secede? Isn't that what Thomas Jefferson did?

I agree nobody moves. It's always just an empty threat.
