The only reason I think people want to leave is not because they simply don't agree with who got elected, but that they are honestly scared of what's going to happen to them in the next four years. I'm not trying to be mean - a few of you have even admitted that if the reverse outcome had occured, you'd be scared as well. So I think that's where this wanting to move thing comes from. Personally, I'm scared of a draft, I'm scared of more terrorists attacking us, I'm scared of my money being put into a forced savings plan, I'm scared of a huge stock market crash/crash of the dollar, I'm scared of what's going to happen to our air and water. So those are the kinds of huge issues that I think make people think they'd be safer somewhere else. Also I think some people want to leave because they don't feel like this country represents them anymore, and that voices like theirs do not have an equal say (due to the electoral college system). I kind of feel that way sometimes - not one single person I voted for last week got elected to office - but I'm more inclined to believe this is just a trend, and that things change every four years.

Personally, I'd love to leave sometimes. But I won't. I may move to a more liberal part of the country, but I can't leave America.
