Liberals reacted to President Donald Trump’s 2024 victory are exploring options to leave the country, with help from a new Washington Post guide. The article outlines visa processes for relocating to countries like Canada and Australia, focusing on their political climates and social policies.
The piece, authored by Leo Sands and Vivian Ho, avoids discussing economic realities abroad, which often compare unfavorably to the US. Critics suggest the omissions downplay potential challenges faced by Americans relocating overseas.

Jen Barnett, owner of a relocation business, reported a surge in website traffic after Trump’s win. She cited political divisions and safety concerns as primary reasons for the interest. “This happens every time there’s a major Republican victory,” Barnett explained, noting the trend rarely leads to significant migration.
The guide comes as the Post grapples with backlash over owner Jeff Bezos’ decision to block an editorial endorsement of Kamala Harris. While some staff members quit in protest, Bezos has defended his move, urging the media to move away from partisan bias.
