Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes...
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/complete-guide-fleeing-president-donald-trump-america-article-1.2549397An entire article for lefties on how to leave if Trump wins. I am still not sure if its satire or not..
Love Americans, but hate America? Mexico could be your new home. Fleeing to the sunny beaches of Acapulco or other parts of Mexico would really rankle 'President Trump' as the blowhard has proposed building a wall which he says our neighbors to the south would pay for. There are already about 849,000 Americans living south of the border, making it home to more American-born travelers than any other country in the world, the Migration Policy Institute reports. Fellow Americans can provide a sense of security and familiarity during such a massive life change, and no one understands your plight more than other defectors. Yes, you’ll have to worry about the tyranny of drug lords, but at least you can spend your Trump-free days talking about the American things you actually miss — perhaps starting with New York City Pizza. And you'll always have a friend who gets exactly why you fled your homeland that is no longer the one you prized.

Logistics, logistics, logistics: How to flee
It's Wednesday, Nov. 9. Trump has been elected, and you're ready to pack up your locally-made vegan shoes and your collection of Al Franken books. Let's concoct a plan to escape from the pending political apocalypse. Get a work visa. Unfortunately, you can't just pick up everything you own and move across the globe. You're going to need the right documents
Why. The Mexicans coming here don't and isn't that part of why you hate Trump, because he thinks - along with every other country in the world - they you need them?
Work visas through a job are likely the most secure option but they're difficult to obtain. The long process starts with applying for a job in your wannabe home. In most countries, the employers must rule out locals who may be better-suited for the job before extending an offer to foreigners.
With a job offer in hand, you can apply for a work visa sponsored through your new employer.
Teaching English can be a great way to secure a job across the seas, experts said. Earning TELF — Teaching English as a Foreign Language certification, which requires hours of training and a fee — can help you land a job in many European, Asian and South American countries.
Application requirements and process timelines vary dramatically from country to country, and work visas need to be renewed frequently. In Austria, foreigners can apply for a job seekers visa, which would allow an expat to live in the county for six months while he or she looks for work — but the employee will have to apply for a longer term work visa after landing the new gig.
Most nations require a foreigner to work for several years before attempting to apply for permanent residency or citizenship. Singapore, on the other hand, offers a way for foreigners to earn permanent residency right away. The nation's Professionals/Technical Personnel and Skilled Workers Scheme allows expats to apply for residency as soon as they get their work passes.
If you want to go one step further and become a citizen of another nation, get ready for a long road. That requires a lengthy legal process that starts with a temporary visa that turns into permanent resident status. Tina Turner became a Swiss citizen in 2013, relinquishing her U.S. citizenship along the way, after living abroad for nearly two decades
Wow that sounds like a lot of work. Can't Americans just cross borders illegally like foreigners do here?
Go back to school far, far away
If you're interested in earning a new degree, consider applying to foreign universities. A student visa — which you can apply for after you've been accepted — can give you entry to your new home over the course of your study. While the visas are often temporary, it can be easier to apply for permanent residency once you've studied for a few years.
Retire in Trump-free bliss
If you've got the retirement income to sustain you, many countries will extend you residency rights — so long as you promise you won't look for work in your new homeland.
Well they never worked here either... wait what? You can't collect United States Welfare checks with a foreign address? Don't worry, you can have someone in the states mail them to you.
[ Since the start of his campaign, Trump has griped about immigrants entering the U.S. illegally. The boldest American escapees may want to consider the truest form of Trump dissidence: Running across the border without a visa.
(Note: the Daily News does not endorse illegal immigration.)
Parody right? Right?!?
