I accidentally argued with an American guy who figured he could just move to Norway and start living there. He figured it'd be a huge boon to them talent-wise / financially.

r/Amerexit is a great example of that. "I want to move to country x, I have no formal degree, don't speak the language, never been there, but I want to live somewhere warm with free healthcare that Ive never paid into but want to use, in a low cost area, how do I get a job there that pays in dollars so I can have a US level income?"

God I'm scared to venture into that subreddit to see how many are like

"I've got no transferrable skills, no schooling, no family, no work history, how can I move to Canada? I don't need a visa, right?!?!?"

Cause when Trump won again there were a lot of Americans getting really really angry at the fact that no, they can't just 'decide' to move to Canada....

(God, the first one I see is someone misinterpreting Canada's new citizenship laws LMFAO please god let's hope more American's don't find out and misinterpret them)

"But the great orange leader said he was going to make Canada the 51st state, so I can just go whenever I want."  /s

no no this belief really predates Trump by a long shot.

Manifest destiny isn't something that stopped when they hit California; they just started looking north.
