    Your article is talking about specific delays during COVID because stuff was shut down because of COVID…

    Which, since you didn’t know, fucked up a lot of shit.

    For almost two years, since the pandemic struck in March 2020, most US consular missions around the world have suspended their expatriation services for those wishing to give up US citizenship. The US embassy in London, the largest of its sort in western Europe, announces on its website that it is “currently unable to accept appointments for loss of nationality applications” and is unable to say when services will resume.

    The US state department says giving up citizenship requires a face-to-face interview with a government official, and that it is too risky given coronavirus.

    If that COVID denying trump supporter would have done it at some point of the decade abroad before a worldwide pandemic, it would have been easy. Everyone is that article is talking about how COVID affected it, not how it normally is.
