They're making threats again, maybe they'll follow through this time. FLEEING TRUMPLAND https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-reelected-americans-are-planning-to-flee-in-droves-2024-3"Late last year, my wife and I closed on a deal for an apartment in a hilltop town in Umbria. Soon after, I posted a question for my fellow participants in a Facebook group called Expats in Italy: "Is it just my imagination, but is there an uptick in Americans, in particular, looking to purchase property in Italy?" As the responses poured in, many of them sounded a distinct thematic note. From a woman in Montana who was planning to move to Tuscany: "Yes, it's true! I bought a hilltop village home … for a song compared to US prices. Don't want to be in US anymore. It's expensive and sick of all the political crap and shootings." From a woman in Texas: "An insurrection by a narcissist who couldn't accept election loss combined with his gun and abortion policies made moving more of a necessity than just a dream." From a man in Tennessee: "I'm an American ready to flee America for Italy. I doubt I'm alone."

Well- - - - -bye! It definitely needs to be a one way trip! Revoke their passports and throw anybody in jail for 10 years if they sneak back in!

Italy has a conservative in charge these days. That's probably making it a better place to live.

"Business Insider" is a left wing biased online site. It is pretty sleazy.
That article is just clickbait BULLSH*T meant to cover for DNC/ Biden/ Blue State Fails..
I doubt a single qoute it in is real.

Semantics?
I notice those folks are "in" MT, TX, TN. Not from, or "MT, TX, TN natives".
Just trashy imports.

I would put money on the fact these folks have a bank account full of money or income producing assets acquired and held right here in the good old USA. By them or their parents or grandparents.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

First, I have yet to see any of the cry babies ACTUALLY leave the U.S. for any reason. Second, a quick Google search shows that officially renouncing one's U.S. citizenship is a fairly lengthy process that involves two separate meetings with a U.S. consular officer at an embassy OUTSIDE the U.S. Given that none of the cry babies has actually left U.S. soil, there is no way they could even started the process to renounce their citizenship. More kabuki theater for their minions...

Just trashy imports. Or fake posts. Lots of posters, including Chinese, posing as fake conservatives and wack jobs to make real conservatives look bad. Just like dems voting republican in primaries. Influencers.

My understanding is that #3, or nearly so, on the list of Mexico revenue streams, is remittances from the USA............. If that were to be 'dinged' in some way, Mexico might get on board with the border issue..

These are the folks afraid to go to the grocery store without a mask on. They aren’t leaving the country.
