5 Remote Places To Move To If Donald Trump Becomes President

If you're anything like me, you enjoy living in the United States. Besides the wage gap, institutionalized racism, rape culture, wonky justice system, sexism, weird obsession with assault weapons, hate for feminists, immigrants or anyone that isn't a rich white man... well, hey, we all have our faults (feel free to call me a dirty communist at this point, if you have the urge to). Compared to the less savory countries we could have wound up in, the U.S. of A. is pretty legit.

But there's one new potential fault looming over the U.S.A.: Donald Trump. His presence in the presidential race amplifies all of the other faults of the United States, because he speaks of them not as faults, but as jokes or things that are self-inflicted, harmless or are only problems because people have thin skin. Not only are his comments hateful and derogatory, but they cause him to be popular with a small minority of individuals, and are begrudgingly waved aside by those who feel forced to endorse him because of partisanship.

You all know about Donald Trump. And if you have joked with your friends that you're "Leaving the country if the Donald gets elected!" but there was a little more truth to the joke than you'd like to admit, I've hunkered down, done some leg work and found some of the most remote places in the world to move to if Donald Trump encapsulates all of your worst fears.

1.Ivujivik, Quebec

Sure, it's cold and little, but it's way out of reach of humanity (or Donald Trump). With a high unemployment rate and accessibility problems, it might not deserve to be our first contestant, but it's a start.

2. Ittoqqortoormiitt, Greenland.

Incredibly cold, small and isolated, this may be your ideal get-away. Especially if you enjoy hunting, because this little slice of frozen paradise relies heavily on hunting and fishing. You may bump into an occasional polar bear, but if we're going for the lesser of two evils...


3. Puerto Williams, Chile.

Possibly the most scenic yet, Puerto Williams also lacks polar bears, but makes up for it with a larger population, and a Chilean naval base. The town claims to be the "world's southernmost city," which makes for sweet bragging rights. The climate stays relatively cool year round, and is incredibly close to the South Pole, adding to the possible appeal of this little place.

4. Cooladdi, Australia.

This might be the worst one yet! There seems to be absolutely nothing to do, Polar Bears are replaced with scary creepy-crawlies and Australia is definitely hot. There are also only four residents, and I'm not too sure how they would feel about taking in American refugees...

5. Svalbard, Norway.

Back to the cold and polar bears, Svalbard is technically a group of islands. So this is basically the island escape of your dreams, right? This is also the considered the Northernmost place in the world, with lots of glaciers and snow. OK, maybe not the ideal island getaway, but I doubt the Donald will be venturing here anytime soon.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
