The SCOTUS ruling upset right-wingers across the Internet today, and in the immediate wake of the ruling, many of them partook in a the fine American tradition of threatening to leave the country on social media.

But where would they go? You would assume a country like Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, or Uganda would be to their liking. But, incredibly, no. Instead, to escape marriage equality, these bigots threatened to flood America’s northern border — and move to Canada.

The SCOTUS ruling this morning was a huge blow to the right-wing and the bigotry that they’d been defining themselves with lately.

The tweet #lovewins began trending almost immediately after that, celebrating the victory of the right to marry over bigotry and homophobia. And while this isn’t the end of the battle — in many ways, it’s just the beginning — today was a day for celebration and reflection.

Many right-wingers had no intention of doing that, however. Instead, they took to twitter and threatened to move to Canada.

They need to move to Mexico. Canada allows same sex marriage and they have the socialized medicine!!!!

And why do they think they have something to offer to Canadians? They are nice people!!!

They won't be able to get back home if the Donald finds a way to reverse marriage equality.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let a bunch of troglodytes move into their country. They're rather strict on immigration up there, and I don't see how they would benefit by allowing all of our assholes into their country. Don't get me wrong; I would love to unload all those fuckers into Canada. I just think Canadians are too smart to allow that.

I think they'd be better off moving to Iraq or Syria. We KNOW they're a very religious Country, they hate gays, and the only change they would have to make is to call God Allah.

Only to find that their own self-loathing inner sexual disturbance has traveled with them.

And they can't come back, because their homes were bought up by two-mommie and two-daddy households with adopted special-needs babies.

And what did they do with that ramshackle storage shed with all those leaking old truck batteries in it?

Silly religious bigots, Canada has had gay marriage for over a decade, socialized medicine and about 50% of their citizens identify themselves as athiests...
