well in the old days, he could have gone to South Africa, but now that option is obviously off the table. The Fundies sure seem to love Israel a bizarre amount, so I guess he could go there. Of course, once he gets there, he might not like it that it's filled with brown Sephardic, Mizrahi, and Ethiopian Jews, and operates one of the cushiest welfare states outside of Scandinavia. If he doesn't hate papists too much, he could live on a compound in rural Argentina, where the president - by law - must be a Roman Catholic.

Which really doesn't mean much in terms of their religious attitudes and general attitudes towards Americans (especially American conservatives).

Economically, Argentina is pretty leftist, you're right. What I meant was that he could live on a compound by himself or with other Americans or right-wingers. Socially, however, it's as or more conservative (abortion is illegal, for instance, and though there is legal recognition for gay couples in Buenos Aires Province, homosexuality is still frowned upon).
