Do not visit the USA. Just don't. Spend your money elsewhere for your sake and for our sake. It's no good to anybody for you to spend it here right now.
Go visit Canada. Nice people, beautiful country this time of year. And they won't disappear you. I know because the Canadians have always been our good friends. It's very sad how they've been treated.
Tourists should avoid the USA (not to blame the tourists in this story, of course)
American citizens should be avoiding the USA at this point as well. No-one is safe.
I'm an American citizen and I got out. Absolutely zero regrets. Apparently it's rapidly becoming increasingly common
Where did you go, if you don’t mind sharing? What was the process like?
Anyone who still doesn't see how similiar this is to 1930s Germany, is lying, a child or ignorant to the point where they their opinion should be ignored.
Nothing short of violent revolution will change anything in the states at this point. The courts are powerless, and the entire political system is rotten to the core.
Where are you holding your violent revolution? Are you taking video?
I don't even live in the states, thankfully. And I'm more than happy to watch from afar.
I'm stocking up on guns and ammo at the moment. I'm trying to build an armory and pantry of like 6-12 months of living and Nazi killing.
Until the last three days, I've actually been fairly optimistic.
While slow, the courts had acted to curb Donald's worst abuses. The tariffs wreaked havoc, but we saw when the bond markets reacted that someone in his administration was able to make him see reason. (My own retirement has recovered its losses from February.) Elon Musk was finally being thrown out of the administration.
But here we are now, and this is genuinely scary stuff for absolutely everyone that isn't independently wealthy. The reaction of California and the courts will dictate how things proceed. This isn't the well-organized, institutionalized abuses of immigrants of Dubya, Obama and Biden. It's the heavy-handed, sloppy, careless and unmitigated cruelty of the Gestapo.
And, for me, I just can't get around the fact that this is probably happening because a meme hurt Donald's ego.
Trump and Steven Miller escalated the situation because they needed to feel good about themselves after Elon fucked them both over. This is probably what they planned for the elections in 2026/28.
This gritty new Home Alone: Lost In New York reboot, starring Donald Trump, is just a bit on the nose
This seems like the kind of thing that's going to get a kidnapping cop shot, and they'll deserve that, but what happens after is a real wildcard.
Good. I hope it does. Nationwide. In large numbers. Fuck them all.
