Trump supporters (I know there are some of you out there), when did America stop being "great"?

But unlike many of my fellow right leaning friends. If Clintons wins, Im not going to threaten to leave.

Had a good conversation with my brother the other day talking about if Trump won the primary the Clinton won the general what it would do to the republican party. We both said it would be great for the republican party but then started thinking about what Clinton in office would mean. Honestly, we don't care about much of the short term shit like taxes or her trying to take guns away or anything. But there will be 2 seats in the Supreme court up for nomination during the next presidents term(s) and that can create long lasting disastrous effects for America. To the point where I asked him if he'd move. It would take A LOT for us to move but if the supreme court essentially erased the 2nd, 4th and 1st amendments it would be worth considering. I don't want to move, I hate where the republican party is currently at, but with supreme court nominations, the next president will have the power/ability to fundamentally shift America's governance in a way we haven't seen in a long time. Both of us our successful, but only because of our skills, we aren't beholden to our location. I would never want to move, but should hillary win the presidency, and successfully nominate 2 supreme court justices, that might be enough to seriously consider moving.

I've always been one to to believe that you can always operate within the rules to accomplish what you want to, but if the next president kills 3 of our constitutional rights, I'd be truly interested in moving elsewhere (I have no clue where that would be yet). It's a scary thought and my brother thinks that republicans will hold onto at least one branch and basically stall the shit out of everything but you never know. America is about to undergo a fundamental change. If that change is for the worse, I'm open to leaving. I know lots of Europeans who move between counties all the time like they're states here in America. If it came to it, I would have no problem with it. I just sincerely hope it doesn't come to that.
