After Donald Trump's win in the 2024 elections, some celebrities like Sophie Turner, America Ferrera, and Cher said they wanted to leave the country. But what did regular Americans think about that? In New York City, people had mixed feelings. Some were okay with celebs leaving, saying "If they don't like it here, they can go. " Others thought rich celebrities should use their power and money to help their communities instead of just packing up and leaving. Some people mentioned that the U. S. has unique freedoms and opportunities. So, why would celebrities want to give that up? Plus, fleeing the country isn't a solution for everyone. Not everyone can just move to another country. This wasn't the first time celebrities threatened to leave. After Trump's first win in 2016, stars like Whoopi Goldberg and Amy Schumer said they'd go. But they never did. Some people think it's just talk, a way to get attention. Celebrities leaving might not matter much to Hollywood, though. It's always been mostly liberal. So, if some stars leave, it might not change things much.
