Frida Ghitis: Some Americans are so fed up with their homeland’s political circus, they’ve decided to pack their bags and flee to Scotland .
She says they're trading one set of problems for another, except now those problems come with accents so thick you’ll need subtitles and weather that makes Seattle look like the Sahara .
Ghitis says the weather in Scotland is a form of psychological warfare and the locals consider haggis a delicacy.
Postcards don't capture the bone-deep chill that seeps into your soul around October and does n’t leave until April .
So welcome, American refugees, to your new homeland.
You’ve traded political chaos for meteorological certainty — it will be cold, wet, and grey.
And you've chosen a country where the phrase “It could be worse” is practically the national motto.
