None, they tried the same shit in 2000 (Bush), 2004 (Bush again), 2008 (McCain & a few over Obama), 2012 (Romney). Its basically what weak people threaten to do when the situation isn't entirely under their control and that is the key to understanding just how detached these fuckwits really are. Their world is full by people who all think and act the same way, they are just too stupid to realize its not because its a better way but that anyone who steps out of line basically gets has a public execution for their career.

I moved to Canada during Bush II, and it was because of Bush II, but I'm not a liberal. I just didn't want to live under a king (and the Unitary Executive Theory was essentially a monarchy), so I chose to exist in an international capacity. I serve no Queen or King now.
However, I've met exactly two other people in the last 10 years that left for Canada. One was an Iraq vet that went AWOL, and the other was a brain-dead SJW, so I know I'm an extreme minority. But I do exist.

Deciding to do something and follow though on it means you are a capable adult trying to do what you think is right for you. I don't blame you or anyone for deciding that you don't like whats going on around and actually leaving, Bush jr was a fucking monstrous war monger, so was Obama.
These celebrities are perpetual crybabies trying to force what they want on everyone else, they are surrounded by a clique of like minded people and a permanent stink of holier than thou finger wagging which they threaten to "leave the country" if you don't listen and do what they say.
I found it very interesting none of them said they were going to Mexico, I found it even more interesting they were trying to equate their uncomfortably with Trump to Vietnam draft dodges that escaped to Canada in order to avoid fighting in a war they didn't want to fight in.
