The Lesson Dorothy Could’ve Taught Trump’s Biggest Critics

The Europeans have gotten themselves into a pickle. And it’s no wonder we see a story in WIRED featuring the lamentations of Americans who took off for the greener pastures of the Old Country and are now headed, or are heading, back to their native soil. Was it for adventure or discovery? For some. But the underlying cri de Coeur was politics. It seems every free and fair election cycle in which a Republican takes office, the liberal cause is that fascism has overtaken our great democracy and now get ready for forced births, mass jailings of minorities and the already oppressed, a clampdown on the media, and deportations. So, these people indulge in self-deportations, looking for a way out of America’s depraved state.

And what better way to find a utopian paradise abroad than to scour the foundational enterprises of truth and transparency, like Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok? You’d have better insight by watching “National Lampoon’s European Vacation.” “They Fled Trump’s America. Now They Regret It” details the experiences of Americans abroad, getting an up-close and personal look at what happens when you stop worrying and start loving socialism.
