#3 Specifically, those who didn’t respond that they had a very strong national identity were also more likely to leave.

Well, we can guesstimate who largely fills that demographic.

I'll believe it when I see it.

#6 69% of Americans have less than $1000 in savings. So they can dream about leaving but they will not get very far.

#8 First, 1/3 thinking about living abroad means 2/3 (AKA 'most') are not.

Second, researchers ... say that the most popular reason (87.4 percent) to live abroad is the simple desire to explore the world. So it's not living under the brutal TrumpHitler regime that motivating people, despite what the headline hints at.

And just to throw some snark into the mix: At one time, you had to travel thousands of miles by steamer and be the only white man north of the Limpopo to experience strange and exotic cultures. Now, you can just move to one of our large cities, like Minneapolis.

#9 And just to throw some snark into the mix: At one time, you had to travel thousands of miles by steamer and be the only white man north of the Limpopo to experience strange and exotic cultures. Now, you can just move to one of our large cities, like Minneapolis.

But you should still boil the water.

#10 Almost all would change their minds if they tried living elsewhere.

#11 "Almost all would change their minds if they tried living elsewhere".

they should try living in Alexandria,Egypt for a month

or anywhere in Comm China, or Tiawan for that matter.

theres always Honduras or Beautiful Belize City for the "New World" traveller to enjoy......

however the Libs would probably really like New Zealand except they woudnt be allowed to stay for that long

#12 There are number of places in America that might qualify for third world living. You can easily tour some of these places: South Chicago, parts of LA, parts of Baltimore, same for Minneapolis, a large swath of Detroit. San Francisco is vying for the list. "Don't leave America and enjoy that expat experience." Most are Dem strongholds.

#13 Coastal Urban Elites.

Want to live abroad? Join the military. I "lived abroad" plenty. You'll see the real world, not the tourist traps.

For them it would open their eyes to what real poverty looks like, and how much irrational hatred certain cultures breed and just how evil centralized government is.
