After the results of the November 5 election, which gave the win to former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump, there are many distraught, dyspeptic, and disappointed souls mounting protests and plotting to depart the country. But not everyone wants to shave their heads, swear off sex, or risk losing their assets by starting over in a new country. For the ones who have been fortunate enough to still have cash on hand after almost four years of this Biden-Harris economy, one company is offering an opportunity to escape America and sail the open seas.
A cruise line recently introduced a package for ocean enthusiasts willing to set sail for four years – days after President-elect Trump won the Nov. 5 presidential election.
Villa Vie Residences announced its “Skip Forward” package on Nov. 7, one day after Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential race.
The Skip Forward package is part of the company’s Tour La Vie program, which starts at around $40,000 per year.
“Residents have the flexibility to join their customized journey at any port during the continuous global adventure for up to 4 years,” Villa Vie Residences said in a press release.
If four years is a bit much for some, Villa Vie Residences has three, two, and one-year programs as well. The three-year journey is called “Everywhere but Home,” the two-year program is appropriately named “Mid-Term Selection,” and if a year is all you can stomach (or afford), their “Escape from Reality,” should do the trick. Customized escapes with everything included: You never have to worry about your next meal, medical care, or being unhoused. It’s a Democrat’s dream; like a universal basic income on steroids.
According to the website, a four-year package would cost $159,999 per person for double occupancy or $255,999 for single occupancy. Basically, any of those who could even contemplate this type of move were not the same people affected by the price of eggs and butter, or gas for that matter.
Villa Vie Residences CEO Mikael Petterson told FOX Business the package is perfect for Americans seeking to escape, though the representative added that many of its customers are conservative-leaning as well.
“Although the campaign was put together before the results of the election, we feel we have a perfect product for those who said they’d leave the country if XYZ wins the election,”Petterson said.
“We may have differing political views, but our community comes together through our passion for exploring the world in a very real way that goes far beyond politics.”
But let’s get real: The people who voted for Trump now have optimism for their future, so why go anywhere? They look forward to the changes his presidency will bring about. But those who voted for VP Kamala Harris? Those are the same elites who looked down (and still are) on the unwashed masses who voted Trump in and complained about crime, open borders, and inflation. These same people dismissed the pain of their fellow citizens, touting an economy that was doing great, claiming that crime had decreased, and who still hold that “undocumented” migrants are good people who just want a better life, and who cares if they’re taking your job for lower wages?
Now that Trump has won, these same folks are mewling and expressing their laments. They have bought a one-way ticket to dystopia, paid for with fears that their bodily autonomy has been robbed and that the orange dictator will take away their rights. In actuality, the only ones who could afford an all-inclusive four-year cruise are the privileged class who claim that because Trump was elected, their privileges are being stripped. First-world problems with a custom-made solution that is only accessible to them.
Those not so well-heeled will just have to break out the electric razor, get an IUD, and find cheaper methods to sail away from reality.
