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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
