Five Foreign Cities to Move to When the Tea Party Takes Over America

For liberals, tomorrow's midterm elections could be a bloodbath. Rand Paul, Christine O'Donnell, Carl Paladino: These are people who could soon rule America! If they do get elected, where can you go? What foreign cities will be your refuge?

Obviously, this is the mournful joke people make every election. "I can't live here anymore. I'm moving to Canada! I'm going to Paris! Forget this rotten old place." It is, yes, mostly a not-serious lament. But now, if crazy tea-nutters like Nevada's rape-lemonade connoisseur Sharron Angle win, after only two years of Democrat rule, it might mean that things really are pretty hopeless here. (And can you imagine all the smug braying from the loony right? Horror.) So maybe it's time to "man up," as it were, and actually follow through on not lovin' it, and therefore leavin' it. But where should you go? Here are some ideas.

Pros: Canada is reasonably liberal, has universal healthcare and gay marriage, and is clean and safe-ish. (Just don't ride the Greyhound.) Toronto is the biggest city up there, an ethnically diverse hub of sorts, and, not for nothing, is pretty darn close to the US. Plus, Degrassi!

Cons: Well, it's not that liberal. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a conservative leader, after all. Plus it's super duper cold, you'll have to suffer through a whole lot of "sorey" and "lowsy" and "grade nine" (it's "ninth grade", guys) and there's a weird inferiority complex thing going on in Toronto that just gets a little sad after a while.

and help clean this shit up. And I can't really think of any place else I'd rather live. But I don't love this country like I used to. Part of it is because of what happened in the two years prior to this election.

AGREED: 1) "my responsibility to stick around"

AGREED: 2) "can't really think of any place else"


DISAGREED: 3) "don't love this country like I used to"

DISAGREED: 4) "because what happened in the two yrs prior to this election" (?)
