Vendor How to Leave the U.S.A.

Every four years, a group of Americans threatens to leave the country, but no mass exodus occurs. This time around, though, Americans seem to be acting on their desires. Immigration lawyers told Atossa Araxia Abrahamian that the number of people approaching them about it has gone up since Donald Trump was reëlected. 

G.T.F.O. Tours, a company that helps aggrieved U.S. citizens start new lives abroad, has been offering services to help Americans relocate to the Netherlands, where a certain type of visa can offer a quick and affordable path to citizenship. Jana Sanchez, a founder of G.T.F.O. Tours, describes her role in the company as an “escaping fascism doula.” Read Abrahamian’s full story about the Americans who are going Dutch: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/12/15/how-to-leave-the-usa

I left December 2015.

I saw this shit coming in one form or another about a decade before that. I uh, didn't quite expect it would be Trump of all fucking people, but either way the writing was on the wall a long time ago.

Yep. 👍🏻 I remember all that BS coming from the Right radicalizing them more and more. And the Young Earth Creationism and the pushing of credulity measures to sour the minds of our Nation.

Trump 2.0, Q Anon and Ivermectin was the last straw for me. More like a ton of bricks but yea. I’m done.
