The conservatives are looking at new countries to immigrate to since President Obama won

I am trying to figure out what country will they go to? All of the other western nations have socialized medicine, higher taxes, better social services, public transportation, solar electricity, belief in global warming, etc.

Which countries will they run to?

No laws against guns. Low Taxes, everyone for themselves. Entrepreneurs do very well with their own armies. Very few laws to stifle them.

I would like to see most of them move there.

They even have some forms of Sharia law to keep women in their place and, most importantly for conservatives, to act as uterus police.

Probably laws against those dangerous mandatory childhood vaccinations. No doubt a one percent land.

So much as infastructure.
It seems they kidnapped and killed some UNICEF people a few years ago and that is not a place where they do as much work anymore. They do still send some people there, but they are much much more wary. So very few vaccinations for children, or water, or food, ot education - your child would have to be home schooled which should please them, I don't think anyone would care what you taught them, not Gov'ment interference so to speak

a career of fighting socialism, they find themselves too old to work and too poor to retire in USA. So, they immigrate to Mexico, join the Mexican socialized healthcare system, ride the socialized transportation system, etc. All of the socialism is good for them, but it would "weaken" USA. In the end, the gopers will pick western Mexico.

no "socialized medicine,' no social services, no public transportation. solar electricity or awareness of global warming.
My strong suggestion?
Perhaps they should go to the Third World, where the investor class always gets a free ride and free access to political power.
They can strut and command on the cheap, and never fear their fellow citizens again.
They can capitalize themselves into further corruption, and then celebrate when nothing is done to stop them.
In America, greed is losing its gilding.
Greed, I feel, is getting to be no longer good.

give them links to travel agencies that specialize in trips to Pakistan and Somalia, and compare each country's worldview to their own.

Conservatives can keep their guns, live free with no taxes, and shoot it out with their neighbors over their belief in Christianity vs. Allah.

But don't tell the Conservatives that the Muslims Allah is really the same God as their Christian God. There is just a difference in how you chose to worship Allah / God.

It will be much better for all participants to shoot it out. Good to see who has the bigger "balls" and all.

Then the US will not need a standing Army there just conservatives fighting for their cause.

They can all move there and establish their own "nation" with no laws, no pesky regulations, with "eternal freedom", where it's every person for themselves, where the rugged will survive and the not-so-rugged will perish.

They can finally live like the wild animals they are, in the Republic of Whitetrashistan.

Warm climes of Central America, the Philippines or SE Asia would welcome them. But then they'd have to get passports.
