You know something, I used that statement last night with a really good friend, just about this very same topic, and after I got off the phone, realized something very very very key. That statement, although said as a joke, is EXACTLY what the far far far right wing conservatives would like us to do. And if they were to hear such a statement, again as a joke, it would only support their own completely idiotic, absolutely ridiculous retort that so many of them have taken to embrace and resort to, "If you don't like the U.S. the way it is, then MOVE."
Funny enough, those very same complete morons (NOT all Republicans, just the uber right wing neo-Nazi conservatives) seem to have forgotten the fact that this country, the United States of America, was founded on and grew in strength, due to the desire for change and the need for laws recognizing basic human rights. Yet they want folks who don't think the same as they today, should move. What complete idiots.
I do thank God that these people, as vociferous as they are, are the minority. As much as their voice is being heard by the President they elected at the moment, it won't be forever. Like any civil rights movement, it will take time, frustration, tears and anger, but things will change.
So that one simple statement, "I'm moving to (fill in the blank)" will never leave my lips again. Ever. It'll give those mentally and socially stunted fellow citizens even more ammo.
