Eva Longoria revealed this week that she and her family have moved out of the “dystopian” United States, now splitting time between Mexico and Spain.

“I had my whole adult life here,” Longoria told Marie Claire of the U.S. “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 shite on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”

The Desperate Housewives actress cited the election as one reason for the finality of her conviction. “The shocking part is not that he won,” she said of Donald Trump‘s victory last week. “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. Longoria also took a second to recall Trump’s 2016 win, when she said “I’ve never been depressed in my life.”

“It was like, ‘Does my vote really matter? Am I really making a difference?’” she says. “I was so untethered to the core of what I believe because I truly believed in my soul that the best person wins. And then that happened, and I was like, ‘Oh, wait. The best person doesn’t win.’”
