Where Would You Move??

[jaxind]

If Trump were to become President, would you seriously think about moving?? I would! If you would too, let's all suggest where we would move to! I think I would move to Spain!

[Proud liberal 80]

1. I love Spain

And planned on possibly moving there when I retire anyway regardless of who the president is

[stone space]

2. My wife and I would likely move to Colombia. (nt)

[Siwsan]

3. I already live conveniently close to, and LOVE Canada

Before Brexit, I would have said Wales but I think it's wise to wait and see how that whole situation shakes out.

[Nay]

19. I have dual citizenship and would def consider moving to Canada. BUT --

it would mean I'd most likely have to leave my son and his family behind. I don't think I could do that. However, there's nothing stopping me from staying in Canada 3-6 months out of the year, is there?

[Siwsan]

21. I'm close enough (60 miles) so it wouldn't make any distance difference, for me

And I think I'd fit in, ok, because when ever I traveled overseas, people would always ask me what part of Canada I was from. That always made me smile. Which, perhaps, is why they thought I was Canadian?

[adigal]

49. Me, too. I'm about 2 hours from Montreal

I'd move there, or France. If they'd have me.

[DFW]

4. Nowhere!

I have been living in Germany for years.

[jaxind]

5. To Siwsan

I would have said Canada, but absolutely despise the cold!!

[Siwsan]

22. I'm just west of Canada, now, so the weather would be no change, for me!

And I do love Ontario - it is beautiful. Well, as is most of Canada.

[BSdetect]

6. Australia where we come from

Gun free for a start.

[Fritz Walter]

7. I'm staying put

At first I thought of either Denmark or Austria (because I have family there).

But then, I decided that I would remain here and -- given the opportunity -- join a democratic, underground movement.

Hey, if it's not sedition for Repukes to call for open, armed revolt when Hillary wins, how would this be any different?

[mnhtnbb]

8. My husband has been on notice for 6 months that we're on a plane to investigate moving to Kauai

should Trump win.

Yes, I know. Still the US. BUT, way out in the middle of nowhere and not populated by gun nuts and bigots or easily accessible
by other gun nuts and bigots.

I don't have the patience or stamina to handle moving to another country at my age (65) with a husband (74) who has health issues.

[uawchild]

9. Chile

Beautiful country, sophisticated cities, friendly people. The earthquakes could be problematic though.

[longship]

12. But Chile also has world class astronomy!

Unlike the USA where the building of a world class telescope on the best summit in the northern hemisphere, Mauna Kea, is being opposed because of volcano gods!

And this by people whose ancestors settled the Hawaiian Islands, from thousands of miles away, in canoes because they could fucking navigate by the fucking stars!

[bmpbmp]

15. That was good - thanks!

[uawchild]

17. Well Played! Well Played indeed.

lol nice how you got the telescope controversy story into such a minor reply. Nice.

[Hekate]

32. I have been wondering how you are feeling about the Dakota Pipeline, which crosses Sacred Lands...

....of indigenous peoples.

Any thoughts on that? It's just dirt, after all.

[longship]

38. I oppose the pipeline.

I support the telescope because it will have almost zero impact on their sacred lands on the largest mountain summit on the planet, only a very small part of which is the astronomical observatory preserve.

Plus, nearly nothing can live up there, least of all astronomers who control the telescopes from much lower altitudes. Those who service the telescopes have to acclimate themselves to the altitude, and there is always bottled oxygen available.

So, I don't believe the claim that very many people worship up there for a minute.

And as their history attests, they founded their settlements in Hawaii because they could navigate across the Pacific Ocean by the stars, in canoes! Their 21st century descendants conveniently forget that part. They're Luddites. Build the TMT. It does no harm and a whole lot of good.

[Hekate]

40. So the feelings of some Native peoples about their land matter more than others? Apparently so.

[longship]

43. First, the observatory preserve was set aside decades ago.

The reason this was done is that it is the absolute best place in the northern hemisphere for observational astronomy, bar none!

Second, the observatory preserve is a very small fraction of the Mauna Kea summit. BTW, Mauna Kea is the largest mountain on Earth. so there is lots and lots of summit that is not the observatory preserve.

Third, I don't know how many native Hawaiians worship up there, but if they do I would recommend that they take bottled oxygen, just in case, lest they die up there.

Fourth, the observatory preserve is not being expanded by the building of the TMT.

Fifth, the TMT in no way will spoil the view of the summit. It's large, but as I pointed out, it is the largest mountain on Earth and the observatory is small in comparison. One cannot see any of the observatory from sea level.

Sixth, there is no rational reason to oppose the TMT. It has zero impact on their ancient religious views, those of people who fucking navigated across the fucking Pacific Ocean in fucking canoes using the fucking stars!

In other words, they are Luddites.

[TrekLuver]

11. Oh hell no, I'm not abandoning my country because of this asshole and his followers.

[book_worm]

13. I'd not move anywhere but help the opposition to his Nazi policies

luckily he won't be winning.

[duncang]

14. Would want to stay.

Just don't know if I could afford staying. With all the high import tariffs he wants, privatizing roads, the cuts to social security, and medicare. That he and the repubs want. It may not be by choice. Remember the trickle down economics tax stuff from raygunz. Then poppa bush saying no new taxes but having to raise taxes. Dipshits tax deal would end up worse for the average American.

[Takket]

16. I only live 30 minutes from Canada so I could move there and not even change my job lol

[sinkingfeeling]

18. I already have started unloading belongings. I'd go for 6 months in Ireland and 6 months in Uruguay

starters.

[Demsrule86]

20. Where would you move when Hillary becomes president?

[NCTraveler]

23. Good where I'm at. Florida. Nt

[Liberalynn]

24. If he wins there is no where that will be safe.

Will end up nuked

[gopiscrap]

25. I am a dual citizen with Germany

was born there, I would go back there if I had to

[Lotusflower70]

27. Home Sweet Home

I thought of Spain because I have family there and go every summer. But then I thought no, I am not leaving my home to be trashed by an orange cretin.

[WiffenPoof]

28. Australia. NT

[pangaia]

29. Kyoto.

[Lefthacker]

30. Scotland.

So I could be around golf, although I would never play Turnbury since the orange ass has his name on it.

[lapfog_1]

31. New Zealand

or Australia.

[rickford66]

82. NZ if I had to.

Most of my in-laws are Kiwis although my wife was born in GB. Sane, intelligent, well informed population.

[RandySF]

33. Moving the family to the Philippines

[FightingIrish]

34. I recently moved to within fifteen miles of Canada.

I already have a route in our boat's nav plotter. I would move not for fear of What Trump would do but in disgust at a country that could elect him.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

35. I got nowhere else to go!

Kidding! I'd stay here, though.

If I went anywhere, it would be a mostly English-speaking country since I'm too old and lazy in that regard and I've forgotten my high school foreign language. (If you don't use it, you lose it.)

[kwolf68]

37. Newfoundland, CA

talking about going there one day anyway

[grossproffit]

41. Our home is California. Maybe we'll secede? Hell, it's already like living in another country here.

[PasadenaTrudy]

62. I'm not leaving CA either! N/t

[Kennah]

44. Canada. If not because of Trump, then certainly because of Climate Change. (n/t)

[displacedtexan]

47. I live in San Francisco.

I'm staying put.

[bottomofthehill]

48. Ireland

Someplace in the wilds of Donegal on the Inishowen Peninsula. Ballyliffin, or someplace in the Poitin Republic of Urris ( nhttp://visitinishowen2015.blogspot.com/2015/07/urris-poitin-republic.html )

Only for about 3.25 years though, as after that it would be time to come back and retake our country to sanity....

[Orsino]

50. Canada...assuming they're still speaking to us. n/t

[Coyotl]

51. Washington D.C., to be on the front line of opposition.

[connecticut yankee]

52. Bali

I'd become a beach bum.

[MoonRiver]

53. Canada, as a second home.

As long as my husband is employed, and my children and grandkids are in the US, we could not move permanently. However, I would apply for dual citizenship. Not sure if hubby would.

[jcgoldie]

56. I would go south of the border

Great tequila and maybe we'd get a wall to keep the deplorables out! 😄

[tledford]

58. Costa Rica eom

[GWC58]

59. We have neither the ways, or means, to go anywhere else.

We'd be here, for better or, more likely, worse. Much, much worse!!
😡😫😩😱

[obamanut2012]

60. Dual citizenship, so Ireland

[bottomofthehill]

63. Lucky you.

Just came back from another great trip. I love Autumn. The crowds are gone and you can travel freely. My running joke was I was looking for a place to go if Trump won.

[obamanut2012]

65. I know I am!

[obamanut2012]

66. I know I am!

[VulgarPoet]

64. A coffin.

They'll have to shoot me to keep me from firebombing shit.

[Sorceress]

67. New Zealand.

I probably wouldn't move. Probably...

[retrowire]

71. Ireland. Nt

[grantcart]

77. Thailand. But I was going to retire there any way

[panader0]

81. I'm not going anywhere.

This is my country. If Trump wins, I'll oppose him from here. I won't run away.

[RebelOne]

83. Britain or Scotland. I love those countries

[jzodda]

86. I'm not going anywhere

This is my country as much as it belongs to them and I'll just fight tooth and nail for 2018 and 2020.

[yawnmaster]

88. staying right here. I could wait it out. Plus I have some faith in my reps to not let it get...

out of hand in the meantime.
