Wired reported that some liberal Americans who moved to Europe after Donald Trump’s re-election now regret it, citing lower living standards, bureaucracy and social friction.
U.K.-based expat "Annie" told the magazine she faced high taxes and immigration surcharges despite expecting free NHS care, along with lower disposable income and anti-American hostility at work.
Germany-based "Josh" said finding work was difficult and acceptance limited for outsiders; he has since moved back to the U.S. and said he was much happier.
Other interviewees said the move made them appreciate U.S. culture more, especially faster work norms, friendliness and what they saw as greater ease in daily life.
Wired also said social-media users expressing second thoughts often face backlash from fellow liberals, while outside commentators argued many Americans hold unrealistic views of European wages, taxes and public services.
