What a surprise that those who can afford to run to the UK, a country they probably know more about through their celebrity friends than any real understanding, would do just that. Trump's victory, a clear mandate from the American people, seems too much for DeGeneres to handle, who previously claimed she had been "kicked out of show business." Maybe it's not just show business she's been kicked out of; maybe it's reality itself.
It's an elitist attitude that if things don't go their way, they'll just pack up and leave. What about the millions of Americans who can't flee? They're left to deal with the policies they voted for, the policies that aim to make America great again.
So, as DeGeneres and de Rossi find solace in the Cotswolds, sipping tea with other disaffected stars, remember this: while they run from a country they claim to love, it's the everyday American, the backbone of this nation, who stays, who fights, and who believes in the American promise. It's an act of cowardice and a testament to their lack of faith in the very country that made them who they are.
