Every presidential election is a hit or miss for one side or the other. Every side feels they have a lot to lose. But subconsciously or consciously, don't we all think about the countless countries we could hide out in if the three-ring political circus we call the election doesn't go the way we want it to?
So here are a few progressive places to head to if Donald Trump ever becomes president.
1. Canada.
You don't have to learn a new language. According to "How I Met Your Mother," everyone's super friendly. They legalized gay marriage in 2005. And they have really good healthcare.
2. Iceland.
Icelandic is a hard language to learn, but the people in Iceland are the happiest in the world. With fewer social taboos and the Northern Lights, I could see myself living there for four to eight years.
3. Switzerland.
Switzerland hasn't had a war since 1815. They've got a free market, a low homicide rate, a free economic market, legalized marijuana (if that's your thing). And, by all accounts, really good chocolate.
4. Norway.
Forward thinking. Low crime rates. The most humane prison in the world. Is there a connection here? If you plan on committing any crimes, Norway's the place to go.
5. New Zealand.
Australia's less-noticed cousin. They granted women the right to rock the vote 27 years before America did. Plus it's where the Hobbits dwell. And, ya know, high levels of education, healthcare, tolerance, and personal freedom.
6. Sweden.
Four hundred and eighty-day long paternity leave for both parents. Called one of the least racist countries in the world. A very low murder rate.
So go forth, my friends. Grab your plane tickets, get your passports, and pray to the Giant Flying Spaghetti Monster that Donald Trump is never called Mr. President.
