must be nice
Exactly what MAGA wants.
When even Americans are running away and dumping their passports, you know Trump’s America is failing.
Dual citizen here, it gets more tempting every day. But our kids wouldn’t be happy about moving away from their friends.
I would gladly leave if I could afford to.
Must be nice to have that kind of privilege to just be able to leave.
That brain drain surely won’t come back to bite us.
Do they renounce citizenship for tax purposes?
I’m trans, just finalized a second citizenship and passport, and making plans. Tough to leave family, friends, work, etc., but I’m not taking that chance. So it’ll be Dublin this fall.
If you can do, odds of the country ever returning to democracy are less than you getting getting struck by lightning.
I can’t imagine why
Must be fucking nice
If you travel abroad to other cities, you start to realize life can be better outside the US.
It’s just too expensive here now
That American experiment was effective but unsustainable. A pedophile grifter and Russian asset managed to convince Americans twice to let him destroy the country.
I would leave if I had the opportunity and money but sadly not using my degree because of not being cheap enough really hurts opportunities overseas without experience. I really hate this world and I don’t see America getting any better unless you’re rich
If I was part of the class that could do that and the right age I would leap in a fucking minute, like many others here say.
It is terrifying to know I am trapped for whatever comes next. I hate it here, I hate a shockingly high percentage of my neighbors, and it deeply fucking sucks to know I am aged and priced out to the point it will realistically never be possible. Here’s hoping the stress at least puts my heart to good use, if you catch my drift
Wish I had the privilege to just pack up and leave. Unfortunately, I’m poor, black, and a lesbian woman and the countries that are great for the black lesbian woman part are too expensive and unattainable for me to get a visa and the places that are actually attainable and affordable tend to not be very friendly to women or homosexuals so I guess I’m just stuck here for the time being unless I get lucky. Sorry for the self-pity party I’m just very envious of the people that are able to leave lol
If we could afford it, we would. I am embarrassed to live here. America is a broken cesspit full of money and absent any meaningful laws at this point. In other words, a shithole country.
I’ve never been more embarrassed to be an American. The obese sociopath clown baby brought shame on an entire nation without ever feeling it himself.
If we could, we would be doing it too.
But physical disabilities like cystic fibrosis means that no country will take me so im stuck in this fuckhole until I die
Fuck that. I’m not giving up the place I love the most to a geriatric pedophile and his idiot followers. I’ll give everything my country.
Thats what a falling empire looks like.
I was in Lisbon a month ago. Amazing place and groceries are cheap.
The interesting piece is that people who are doing this, while not billionaires, are generally educated, wealthy and with skills that travel well.
The brain drain from America is very real.
If I could leave I would. Already have a list of countries I’d love to to go to
The main thing with all the 5,000+ people renouncing their US citizenship in the article is that they have citizenship in another country that will provide a better (or equal at least) quality of life & opportunities compared to the US.
Weak!
There goes much needed votes.
I mean, why not? I’ve voted democrat since Mondale, and the nation has become MORE conservative! I seriously unsure which is worse: the rampant social hatred the population exhibits, or the crippling unfettered capitalism that is a dystopian nightmare. IF your surroundings no longer support or reflect your values, it’s no longer your community
I’d 100% do it if i had a way to get any other citizenship.
We are leaving in July for the Netherlands.
God I wish I could
