I voted with my feet. I pick the culture/s I most want to associate with and live among. Obama/Hillary's America isn't that culture.
I traveled enough to know there are many pleasant places and pleasant people. I also traveled enough to know tat 98% of the world is racist, accepts corruption as the "right way to do it" , and abhors the very idea of personal freedom, and that tribalism is still the determining factor in almost every culture.
And then there is the subservient attitude toward government, disdain for fire arm ownership, and a pervasive and simply crappy work ethic.
Yes, I know many expats who are perfectly happy and enjoy that "laid back" style of culture - especially in retirement. . Its not for me. And I don't want to raise my kids in the third world ( I know its coming to me)
The only people part of the culture I want to live with are the remnant of actual Americans left here. I don't see any other place in the world that values what I value. Yes, you can find a nice place if you are willing to accept the trade-offs but none of them are what America was. Sure you might find a pocket of expats with my values somewhere, but they are an island in a sea of foreign values, and I think will be either forced to conform, or be washed out to sea when the Dollar collapses. Most natives only tolerate the expats for the money, so if you can't pass for Native ( or have been there long enough others see you as native) its not going to be a fun ride as Millions flee the US for the same shores. The will be the same turds that fled California and other Blue failures. They will be the worst sort of "ugly American" and without the money - public opinion in foreign lands will turn- and quickly. After all they don't believe that racism is wrong.
I hope your play works out for you Hawk, but I will just stay and fight.
