Feeling Fragile? Trump’s New Policy Encourages Disillusioned Democrats to Self-Deport to ‘Adventurous’ Locations
In a controversial turn of events, former President Donald Trump has introduced a new policy aimed at helping distraught liberals find their place elsewhere. The policy encourages self-deportation for Democrats who, as the plan suggests, are “too fragile” to accept election results that didn’t swing their way.
The Trump administration has curated a list of welcoming nations — ones that promise a respite from the American ideals they find distressing. But there’s a twist: these “top destinations” rank among the most dangerous or economically unstable countries worldwide. Let’s explore each of these thrilling places where any liberal who “just can’t” might finally find some peace.
1. North Korea

2. Democratic Republic of the Congo
Known For: Civil conflict, human rights abuses, and severe poverty.

3. Venezuela
Known For: Economic collapse and political turmoil.
Flee the terrors of American supermarkets and dive into Venezuela’s one-of-a-kind grocery experience! Learn to live without basic necessities, as scarcity and creativity go hand in hand in this thriving economic “experiment.”
4. Afghanistan

Of course, not everyone sees these destinations as appealing, but for those insistent on leaving America’s hypocrisy, perhaps these countries offer an opportunity to finally find peace. As one self-declared ex-American, who refuses to recognize electoral outcomes, declared, “I’ll move to any place that doesn’t remind me of this white-washed nightmare. These picks are extreme, but anything’s better than here.”
Another disgruntled would-be expatriate said, “If I have to watch one more [presidential candidate] win unfairly, I’m off to the whitest place on earth.”
