The number of Americans residing abroad is not a well-known fact. According to the Association of American Residents Overseas <\/span>(AORO)<\/b>, an NGO based in Paris, by the end of 2023 this figure was estimated at around 5.5 million people, distributed mainly in ten countries: Mexico (1,182,3460), Canada (1,050,898), the United Kingdom (325,321), Israel (281,137), Germany (238,652), Australia (218,216), South Korea (129,499), France (117,462), Japan (111,021) and Spain (108,684).<\/span><\/p>\n The reasons for this mobility are usually diverse but are related to factors such as perceptions of safety (high rates of armed violence, the highest in Western culture), the search for relatively reasonable rents in the context of the real estate crisis, enjoying more vacations and free time, the lower cost of living in other countries and making the most of retirement.<\/span><\/p>\n Following Trump\u2019s election victory, there has been a surge in the number of Americans who have expressed their intention to settle abroad for political reasons, but this is not an unprecedented phenomenon.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2016, shortly after his election for a first term, a movement in this direction arose, an expression of opposition to what would ultimately turn out to be one of the most chaotic presidencies in history. And it would unleash unusual levels of discontent and resistance, especially from women who reacted against a candidate who boasted of <\/span>being able to grab them by the pussy<\/b><\/a> without anything happening. Or from voters reluctant to accept the idea of <\/span>a politician claiming that he could <\/span>shoot a person on 5th Avenue in New York<\/b><\/a> and not lose voters.<\/span><\/p>\n
