It’s become a recurring theme: liberal celebrities vowing to abandon the U.S. if their candidate of choice loses. The months leading up to the presidential election were no different, as Hollywood elites confidently predicted a Kamala Harris victory while loudly promising to leave the country if Donald Trump won. Well, last week, Trump handed Harris a decisive defeat—winning not only the Electoral College but also the popular vote. And now, it seems, one of those stars is actually keeping her promise.
Eva Longoria, former Desperate Housewives star and staunch Harris supporter, has announced she’s packed her bags and relocated her family overseas. Splitting her time between Mexico and Spain, Longoria explained her decision to leave in a recent interview with Marie Claire. While citing California’s skyrocketing taxes and homelessness crisis as factors, she couldn’t resist taking a swipe at Trump’s victory as well.
“The shocking part is not that he won,” Longoria lamented, “it’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office.” She went on to describe her fear of Trump’s policies and her disillusionment with American elections.
“I truly believed in my soul that the best person wins,” she said. “And then that happened, and I was like, ‘Oh, wait. The best person doesn’t win.’”
Longoria’s grievances would be more compelling if they weren’t so dripping with irony. She fled California—a state run exclusively by Democrats—for its crumbling infrastructure, rampant crime, and overwhelming homelessness. Yet, instead of acknowledging that progressive policies have transformed the Golden State into a dystopia, she somehow finds a way to blame Trump.
Here’s a reality check: the homelessness crisis and sky-high taxes that pushed Longoria to flee California are the direct result of Democratic leadership. The state has been a playground for liberal policies, and the results speak for themselves. California’s once-thriving cities are now riddled with crime and chaos, all while residents are taxed into oblivion for the privilege of living there. And despite this, Longoria and her Hollywood peers continue to champion the very policies that created this mess.
Leaving America because of California’s failures and blaming Trump for it? That’s the kind of mental gymnastics only a Hollywood liberal could pull off.
But Longoria didn’t stop there. She took her pity party a step further, describing her move as a “privilege” while painting the U.S. as a dystopian wasteland.
“I get to escape and go somewhere,” she said. “Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.”
It’s almost comical to hear a multi-millionaire lamenting the plight of regular Americans from the safety of her new European digs. The truth is, Longoria’s “privilege” is not her ability to flee; it’s her ability to ignore reality. Most Americans—those who haven’t abandoned ship—still believe in the promise of this great country, and they’re working hard to make it better, not running away.
Longoria’s dramatic exit is a perfect illustration of the liberal elite mindset. When things don’t go their way, they pack up and leave, taking no responsibility for the policies they championed. They call the country dystopian while turning a blind eye to the devastation caused by their own side’s leadership.
The irony is, America doesn’t need people like Longoria. While she escapes to complain from afar, the rest of us are here, rolling up our sleeves and working toward solutions. Trump’s victory represents a rejection of the failed policies that have plagued states like California. He’s fighting to restore law and order, promote economic growth, and give all Americans—not just the privileged few—a shot at success.
So, Eva, enjoy your time abroad. You’re not stuck in dystopia anymore, and we’re not stuck with you. Here in the real America, we’ll keep moving forward, rebuilding what years of liberal mismanagement have broken. And yes, we’ll keep making America great again.
