    Trying to isolate the country from what used to be our allies, then take away all our rights and turn this degrading shithole into North Korea where the citizens are law bound to kiss their “leaders” ass and pretend it doesn’t fucking stink.

    It’s amazing how much the US doesn’t want you to go there, even if it’s just to visit.

    Despite all the mediocrity, there are some things to see there, but if that’s the authorities’ attitude (and this here is not the first example of it), yeah, I think I’ll skip.

    So fucking annoying of articles to be like “this was published on Tuesday by the federal register and is open for comments” only to not provide a link.

    Dear lord!!! Just tell me what you don’t wanna have, it’s way shorter!

    Oh wait … you can’t even pay me to go there! Would an employer demand me to go there, I’d quit on the spot.

      literally, I let my VISA expire and it was hard because I live on the frontier so I’ll miss out on a lot of things but it is not worth it

      last time I needed to cross the border I was detained for an extra hour (not counting the queue) just because I didn’t cross during the pandemic

      fuck the US, fuck fascism

      I still remember a trip I took with my parents to Vancouver and Seattle. We are from Brazil.

      The difference was night and day, especially the infrastructure, landscape, and the appearance of the people who worked there. Seattle felt much more somber and gray.

      The only ones who seemed overtly happy were the waitresses, but since these jobs in the U.S. rely heavily on tips, it felt more like forced role-play to get extra money compared to the more down-to-earth Canadian customer service.

    yeah, because tourism is doing so well now, we need more reasons to fuck over the industry

    I am surprised the tourism industry is taking this so well. I mean Trump and company are literally doing anything they can to kill it off.

    Is anyone really surprised by the further restrictions on the free speech by the fascist regime?

    What surprises me is how much Americans are willing to take or how self-absorbed and blind they are as to what is happening.

    First it was illegal immigrants. Then any immigrants. Now legal visitors, not even immigrants. Next it will be citizens, absolutely guaranteed.

    They are already being targeted by the ICE and the government is working on plans to label citizens as domestic terrorists if they oppose the president.

    But yeah, I’m sure using the ICE whistles and honking at the Nazi police as they abduct your family and friends is gonna solve the problem.

      it’s so tiring to watch people just not realize the natural progression to all of this, like how can you not see it’s gonna be YOU next in a few years when you post on facebook about how you’re disappointed about supreme leader trump’s tax policy and the secret police show up at your door

      Yeah, I’d worry that they’d ask for my social media and get confused and angry.

      Haven’t been to the USA since 2016, unlikely to ever go again. :(
