55 Percent of Democrats Want to Leave the U.S.
Democrats decry “No Kings” yet they want to relocate to nations with actual kings.
Recent polling shows 55 percent of Democrats would rather live somewhere other than the United States with preferences for Canada and the United Kingdom (U.K.). Only 48 percent of Democrats are proud to be American compared to 95 percent of Republicans. What’s the Democrats’ beef with America?
They have a fundamental misunderstanding of American government and the Constitution.
Democrats invoke the phrase “defending democracy” as a rallying cry but America isn’t a democracy, it’s a constitutional republic.
Democracy means the majority decides everything, directly. Every law and every policy is put to a popular vote. The Founders rejected this model of government, knowing it was a path to mob rule. Instead, they created a republic. We elect representatives and give them authority to pass laws on our behalf to protect the natural rights of every citizen, not just the majority.
America’s founders opposed democracies. John Adams said, “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” James Madison wrote, “[D]emocracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
The Emancipation Proclamation offers a striking case for why the constitutional republic form of government matters. When Lincoln signed the wartime executive order freeing slaves in Confederate states, it was deeply unpopular. The Chicago Times denounced it as “a monstrous usurpation, a criminal wrong, and an act of national suicide.” If abolition required a popular vote as democracy demands, it certainly would have failed. Lincoln’s opponents referred to him as a “dictator.” Sound familiar?
Are Democrats ignorant? Or do they really want to undermine the foundational governing principles of the nation?
Founded on Biblical Principles
While the founders did not advocate for a theocracy and opposed the establishment of a national religion, they didn’t shy from declaring that Biblical principles formed the basis of our founding documents. Noah Webster put it this way, “[O]ur citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament, or the Christian religion.”
The founders sought to ground American law in immutable principles of right and wrong rooted in scripture. As Alexander Hamilton wrote, “[T]he law . . . dictated by God Himself is, of course, superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times. No human laws are of any validity if contrary to this.”
Today, Democrats want to establish their own shifting foundation of secular morality, ignoring Biblical principles and natural rights—a flawed morality that permits the killing of babies, redefines marriage, and rejects biological realities of men and women.
Without a fixed moral framework and republican form of government, the Constitution becomes worthless. Law becomes fluid and whatever the majority says it should be. Benajamin Franklin understood this fragility and wisely stated, America is “A republic, if you can keep it.”
Send Them to Canada and the U.K.
Democrats oppose free market capitalism, the foundation to the success of the United States economy. A recent poll showed only 42 percent of Democrats view capitalism positively. Maybe that’s why they would choose the U.K. and Canada over the U.S.
American politicians like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who are Democrat Socialists, and Democrat Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who previously self-identified as a communist antifa super soldier, are the future of the modern-day American Democrat party. Democrat socialism aligns with principles of more government control, in opposition to free market capitalism.
How does America actually compare to the countries some on the left prefer? The numbers tell a clear story. If the United Kingdom were a state, it would rank as the poorest in the nation. Its GDP per capita is $57,000 compared to $93,000 in the U.S.
The average annual income follows a similar pattern—Americans earn $83,490 on average, versus $49,470 in the U.K. and $53,400 in Canada.
Housing tells the same story. The average American home is 2,299 square feet, more than twice the size of the average U.K. home at 947 square feet, and larger than the Canadian average of 1,948 square feet.
On employment, the U.S spring 2026 unemployment rate of 4.3 percent compares favorably to 5 percent in the U.K. and 6.6 percent in Canada. Even currently at the gas pump, Americans pay on average $4.48 per gallon, compared to $7.99 in the U.K. and $5.39 in Canada.
The data makes a compelling case: the free-market system Democrats increasingly distrust has delivered a standard of living that their preferred alternatives have not.
America was founded on principles Democrats increasingly reject—limited government, natural rights, Biblical morality, and free markets. They criticize capitalism while enjoying its fruits.
The 55 percent of Democrats who’d rather live in Canada or the U.K. are on to something. Those countries are a better fit for what the modern Democrat Party believes. The rest of us will stay here and defend the republic.
