Why would people want to immigrate en mass from Norway to the USA? Putting aside the enormous fucking racist implications of that statement, people immigrate to improve their situation. The USA isn't that great compared to other developed nations, and also we have a demagogue in the White House who is bound and determined to make things worse. So, uh, no?

There's a fair amount of reclaimed pre-Christian Norse religious practice in Scandinavia today, but the people doing it are hardly "neo-Nazi fake Viking nutcases" - most of those are already in the US, and they were here before anybody had ever heard of Donald Trump. Adding to the confusion is that not all neo-Nazis are wannabe Vikings (some of them call themselves Christians), and not all Norse Neopagans are neo-Nazis (I've met a couple of Black Asatruar - the rationale is that since the Vikings traveled even as far as the Mediterranean, and probably encountered Africans, some Vikings might have brought home African thralls, who decided it would be prudent to worship the local gods).
