Ellen DeGeneres says she moved to Britain because of Trump

Must be nice to be of the ownership/wealthy classes and be able to move away from the fascists during their rise to power. The rest of us will have to do our best to remember our own humanity while we watch people become nazis and trade their humanity away before the leopards eat their faces.

- Ironically, our king has incredibly limited power that is enforced by a strong belief that religion should be separate from politics and an independent judiciary. Your king doesn't seem to have the same hurdles
- For now, yeah. I mean there is no such place as a safe or “good” nation. Every one of them will hold you at gunpoint demanding money so they can build a library.
  But actively and swiftly the US is going full nazi. If one leaves I don’t blame them.
Yup fuck these richies that flee with their money they made from being the spokespersons of the minority class they represent. They should stay and help fund the resistance but instead they say FYIGM.
- I've seen a lot of comments on the Fediverse about people who have moved or aspire to move from red states to blue states. I hope they get the same level of vitriol in the future, just to keep things consistent.
s
ellen is also a terrible person behind scenes of her show.
Former moderator FlyingSquid moved to the UK from the US to protect a transgender child. I hadn't thought about it before now, but he must be part of the Ownership class.
- two things can be true at the same time. some of us can afford it. some of us can’t.
  ellen certainly can. ellen is not working class.
- From what little interaction I had with FlyingSquid, it seemed like his family was very working class and the move to the UK took a lot of sacrifice.
  Ellen on the other hand has a net worth in the hundreds of millions and thus was never in any real danger in the US because of her sexuality.
- oh, wow. I thought they were still in Terre Haute. Good for them, though I don't understand what's so attractive about the U.K.

a yank buying land in a nature reserve in britain? How about we block that?

Yeah colonization sticks, don't it?

When a dodgy american lesbian moves to terf island, i'm gonna side eye

“I look forward to verbally abusing my new British friends,” she continued.

Don't forget firing employees for refusing to cross picket lines...
Ellen is a piece of shit billionaire that wants applause for existing. She's the same as musk or even trump.
- Ellen is a billionaire?

Seriously, who cares about Ellen moving?

I do. Because I have LGBTQ friends. Who feel forgotten and in danger.
- How did your friends feel when she was pallin’ around with George Bush?
  She’s as much a queer person as Oprah is a person of color. The rich are their own nation, and they don’t give a shit about you or your friends.
- The less we identify with the rich, the better.
- What the fuck was Ellen doing for them when she lived in the US?

nah, she moved because of the DIDDY trials, she announced it last year the moment, he was charged, so people are suspected shes involved in the circle someway, that we dont have info on yet.

miley kunis and asthon moved to europe because of shilling for masterson/pedophelia, same sht.

US and UK have extradition treaty, so I assume there are more to it than that.
wait where did Kunis and Kutcher get involved in pedophilia? Masterson was convicted for rape.
- They wrote letters vouching for his character before the sentencing. Not a great look, but I wouldn't exactly call it "involvement" either.
  Als,o like you said, I'm pretty sure everyone Masterson raped was at least an adult.
- they are part of church of scientology, remember all that spiel they did, trying to convince the judge to go easy on Masterson. and then when all the criticism started piling up, they said they were moving to europe.
  ashton kutcher himself, his org actually harms women more than against trafficking. so they both were shilling for them.

Honestly, this is one of the least objectionable things Ellen has done. If I had the means, I'd probably be exploring my options to leave this place too.

Probably not to Britain though. They're on the same track we are.

Same with Canada. So where to?
- The whole Anglosphere is pretty fucked thanks to Rupert Murdoch and easy cultural exchange. I'm not super up-to-date on European politics but I haven't heard anything bad about Finland lately.
- Spain?
  I hear the rain falls mainly on the plain there.
My wife is from S. Africa, if we had the ability to pick and move to S. Africa and settle our family we'd have been gone yesterday.
- Wait, you want to move to South Africa?

Wasn't her show (and her probably) cancelled in the states after she was accused of bullying and then accused her accusers of being misogynistic? I doubt Trump has anything to do with her new fame seeking agenda.

Yes.
What's she scared of, being offered a cabinet position?

Sorry Britain.

You guys took James Corden off our hands for years, seems only fair.
- Something seems off about him that I just can't seem to put into words, so I've never wanted to watch any of his shows.

Coward and a failure.

She's a garbage human. Glad she can afford to do that, even though the majority of the rest of us Americans can't. Bravo.

I'm a Brit and outta the loop here. what'd she do?
- Treated her staff exceptionally poorly
- See this is why she moved. Brits don't know what a cunt she is. It's like Jeremy Corbyn reversed lol

Weak. I'd rather hear from the people that moved to mexico or El Salvador because of Trump. People that wanted to be here to support themselves and their families and then Trump kicked them out. Those people moved "because of Trump." Ellen moved because she wanted to and could. Also Britain is a very out of the frying pan and into the fire type of move dumbass.

She is still rich. Her life would unlikely be negatively affected, this is just bullshit virtue signaling.
- shes just using this to shield her real motives of why she moved, she announced it last year right after diddy got charged.
Are the Cotswolds a particularly dangerous part of Britain?
- Extremely. You could get your car vandalized for being too yellow.

Oh thank you Ellen for telling us that it's so much better for you when you took off and left. Those of us lessers who didn't have the foresite to have enough money to pick up and flee the country now know so much better.

Get fucked.

Sounds like a desperate plea for attention.

Fuck you think the conservatives over there are better? Same shit different paint. Royal pedophiles.

I mean, only one is selling concentration camp merch so...
- Both are supporting concentration camps in Gaza and want you to buy Israeli merch no difference?
- 😂 just because the Brits keep their noses high, doesn’t mean they aren’t covered in blood.
The US conservatives are objectively worse, but the British conservatives (and Labour) are trying their best to catch up
What makes you think she cares about that?
She's a billionaire, she cares about what personally effects her life.
Hell, she had trump on her show before she was cancelled for being a piece of shit:
https://people.com/parents/donald_trump_on/
- How about the fact that she herself is a survivor, so it does personally affect her life?

All we need is for both Trump and Ellen to move. Two less insufferable people in the USA sounds good to me. The way Ellen treated her former staff was disgusting.

Privilege.

A member of the mega-wealthy class is moving out of country you say? Good riddance.

Moving to TERF Island, no less.

If she moves back, will he move away instead?

No worries, the general UK population find this kind of vacuous and pompous American insufferable.

So exactly how the general UK population finds everyone….
- I'll have you know that I suffer some of my favourite people all the time.

Proof that even assholes can hate Trump.

The story of the uninteractionized white lesbian continues! Will she find class consciousness?! I doubt it in England! Find out next time!

Isn't she a known pos?

yea behind the show, she was a monster to the crew, employees. the family guy did a parody of her
That seems to be the word on street. A very not nice person. Her politics aside. I am happy she isn’t my neighbor. However it’s because many people have come forth since working for said person.

This nightmare. She created a hostile working environment, her employees could never look her straight in the eye, else they might turn to stone. I remember reading a story long before she had the Ellen talk show about a card game she hosted at her house, and she was so mean to her guests. She made one woman cry because she won and wanted to leave early. She is a horrible person. I feel sorry for any country where she resides.

Your read about a card game she had at her house which went badly? Damn this woman to hell!
- Oh yeah, she is a peach.

So she planning to move again in 4 years when Reform take over here?

Why not? She can afford to.
- She will run out of English speaking countries

Silver linings I guess.

What a privileged bitch.

Like moving to the UK for the weather...

Hmmm I mean there is a bit of a rise in right-wing populist movements across Europe but not sure it's quite trumpian yet. No masked Gestapo bundling people into vans and ~~concentration~~ camps, mainly hotels... AFAIK
- If a second liberal democracy were to fall to political interference and fascism, would it surprise so very much if it was the UK next in line? I think Brexit, the lead up, and the fall out demonstrate that it is on shaky ground. In the twisted name of sovereignty I think they would sacrifice democracy with the right incentives and manipulation.

If I had money, this country would've seen my tail lights a decade ago.

Must be nice. Very few people have that level of privilege.

She trying to get fans by saying she hates trump, bad people can still hate trump doesnt make them not be bad people

Thanks.... Trump....

God, I don't know how to feel about this.

The trains are better, for sure. Everything? Idk about that

I wish our good news was better but the little victories count too.
