“Most Americans” are “going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them,” Eva Longoria said. By Isabel Keane Published Nov. 14, 2024, 7:30 a.m. ET Actress Eva Longoria admitted that she and her family have fled the “dystopian” United States — leaving the homelessness and high taxes of California for a brighter life in Mexico and Spain. “I had my whole adult life here,” Longoria told Marie Claire. “But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then COVID happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to s–t on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.” While the homelessness and taxes happened in California under the rule of Democrats, the 49-year-old “Desperate Housewives” star conversely said Donald Trump’s win was also a reason to leave. “The shocking part is not that he won,” she said of former President Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. “It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office.” “If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place,” she said, recalling how depressed she felt following Trump’s 2016 win.
