I believe whichever party attempts to do this will be voted out in 2 years. It's really really hard to get people to accept a lower standard of living. The only scenario I can think of is during wartime, but the US is pissing off all of their allies.

Logical next move is to start the move. I’m just assuming that they will. I guess, the biggest problem is hoe vocal “the other side” is, compared to 10/20 years ago. Oh well, that’s what the citizens vited for, I guess.

(doesn't matter with whom, we have always been at war with Eastasia).
