In twenty years, he's going to be the Governor of a backwater state like Alabama or something, he's sadly going to be remembered as this Right Wing Folk Hero forever.

I'd love to leave and not be stuck in a country with assholes like him but I can't afford it. It's like $2,500 just to renounce your citizenship.

I mean what would happen if you just left?

There are edge cases where you still need to pay/file taxes.

Pretty sure you need to file them so long as you remain a citizen in any circumstances you would need to file them while in the US, you just don't have to pay US taxes on income you've already paid taxes on in your country of residence, up to something like $100,000/year for a single individual.

I don't know if they resolved it, but I also recall it became more of a pain to open a foreign bank account as a US citizen, because they US government was trying to impose reporting requirements on any bank that had accounts held by US citizens, regardless of where they were.

What would they do of you just did not pay those?

I'd love to not live in a country with him, but if I leave, I know the country gets a little bit worse for those who can't leave. This is why I advocate for staying in awful states if you can do so safely. If you leave, then the state gets even worse for the people who want to but can't.
