    Some people said similar stuff before Trump was elected and while they didn’t move there are a ton of people being deported

      Moving from a state/city to another is relatively easy, at the cheapest (assuming rental apartment) you can. Move from city to city in the US for around 3-6k depending on distance. Leaving the country is much harder, especially if you have items you care about, pets, family… Etc.

      Also fuck him its my home the can leave if its so bad. That’s like having a shitty houseguest for an evening and just ceding the property to them.

      I first saw this each time Bush was elected. So many people vowed to move to Canada if that bastard got elected.

      Then the bastard got elected. And Canada reported like a tiny spike in traffic to their immigration information website. I think actual applications were up a statistically insignificant amount.

      I guess it’s like the difference between filing for bankruptcy and Declaring It, Michael.
