OP specifically said it was a serious question, so this comes off as patronising..

I didn't think it was patronising;

I think it was just pointing out a semantic flaw in the post: OP forgot to say where he lives, so we don't know what "abroad" is in his case.

Fair point. I inferred OP was in the US, considering the US election that just ended and people were jokingly talking about leaving the country[1] to other places.
