You mean Trump is bad for business?
Which means all those people saying he’d run it like a business are…stupid?
You’re literally imprisoning tourists for the most minor shit, you silly dickheads. Of course that’s going to cost you money.
It’s a bit dangerous to come to the states right now
No idea why a European would ever want to come here. The travel options there are much better and cheaper. Oh and you won’t get thrown into a foreign prison.
Aside from politics, the US has a ton to offer for someone that wants to experience the world. The Rockies, Appalachian trail, Great plains, deserts, huge rivers and lakes, and a bunch of other natural beauties. Not that mountains and bodies of water don’t exist elsewhere, but when it comes to nature, there’s something for anyone that likes being out doors.
From a tourist side of things, places like Disney World, Universal, Las Vegas, New York City, and others just don’t have the same thing elsewhere. I’m more into the nature side, but lot’s of people really enjoy the big cities and amusement parks. The Rockies also offer some of the best snowboarding and skiing in the world, and there’s only 1 Appalachian trail.
Too bad politics makes all of that less safe for foreigners and is actively enshitifying nature.
I had a Finnish friend visit me in LA a few months ago and he had an absolute blast. There are still plenty good people and things to do and see in the US.
I live in the US and I still haven’t visited LA. The US is fun but right now we are just “not cool”.
It is risky to come here. You anything besides English and you could be having to deal with ICE and get kidnapped.
That’s not totally exact, France too.
And Russia and North Korea
Israel too, our greatest ally and friend to humanity.
I’d expect Israel to see the decline at 2024. For Russia I’d expect it to be at 2022. By 2025 these countries probably didn’t see a decline simply because they started from a low baseline.
Even if I wanted to visit the states. Can I risk having my holiday ruined and the money I’d lose if I was randomly turned away at the border?
It’s not even safe to transit the states at the moment.
As an American even I don’t want to leave because I’m very critical of this administration and god forbid they’d somehow connect me with my online persona. I just don’t want the pain they could cause. I don’t “think” they could deport me (50s very white male) but who the fuck knows at this point. Gravy seals that are cosplaying as some military elite in their tacticool gear are just snatching people off of the street.
The reality is this:
They are accosting and hassling/turning away people who aren’t white. And I see pushback on this in the weirdest forms, people saying how most immigration officers are hispanic or black also, etc. That does not matter. This is entirely superficial and ordered by higher-ups and designed to drive up hate and racial tension so we don’t unify. If you’re not white, you face significant chances of being hassled at immigration but there are still thousands and thousands of people passing in and out of the country daily, so it’s not THAT high of a chance.
As for transit across the states? Outside of some real backwater sundown towns in the deep south, there is a massive cognitive bias at work in the USA that works in two directions.
I can promise you that you can be brown, asian, hispanic, purple with polka-dots and could most likely bicycle across the entire country and you will be treated with kindness and respect and people will offer to take you into their homes across the country.
The weird disconnect that people are having a hard time digesting is that some of these same people will go online and scream about how immigrants are ruining our country and that we need to start a race war.
We don’t live in a coherent reality in the USA anymore. The media world, including the internet and places like reddit and lemmy and facebook and twitter reflect a weird “mirror universe” where people are following an entirely different set of feelings.
We are in a new world of cognitive dissonance and I fully understand how off-putting that is and I recommend not visiting the country for that reason alone. Don’t give this country tourism money as long as this administration remains in control.
Most people don’t have problems but we are shocked to hear Canadians and Australians were turned back because they spoke out against our
regimegovernment.It was unheard off. Freedom of speech? Gone. 🗽, diminished.
If you got into the country, what’s to stop ICE from picking you up and sending you to a prison in another country?
More so for people with families. Individuals might be prepared to risk it but no one with kids is likely to.
Why the fuck anyone want to come here right now? Dick-tator Dipstick running the show with his mushroom-fellating moron brigade cheering him on as if he wasn’t shitting his pants and reading at a third grade level…
Selling off our public lands-- you know, the shit people want to see when they come here…
Getting arrested for coming here AS A TOURIST and potentially being thrown in a fucking concentration camp…
Everything is way too expensive and untrustworthy
Getting arrested for coming here AS A TOURIST and potentially being thrown in a fucking concentration camp…
Yep. That would definitely rank very fucking high for me if I was a non-USian who thought about coming here. Most especially if I wasn’t doing the Dark Forest theory of Internet use and/or if I was not white/xtian.
These assholes are wanting to log in to devices at the border and are trolling for political content.

Thats what happens when you’re a bunch of cunts
Yep. And also people not wanting to get human trafficked out to South Sudan or El Salvador.
Yeah…thats covered under being a bunch of cunts. Only a cunt would do that.
And not good ones like Australian cunts
Meanwhile, Taco is literally attacking the 4th largest economy in the world and yammering on about tariffs again.
I just don’t know how the market is still (relatively) up. I think when the crash does come, it’s going to be so rough.
The market is running on cocaine, hate, and broken dreams. Just give it time, and it’ll be a hell of a crash.
Cocaine, Hate and Broken Dreams is what netflix should name the documentary about the upcoming market crash
They arbitrarily imprison tourists and then are surprised nobody wants to risk being imprisoned
Imagine risking being disappeared into a concentration camp just for the chance to see the Jersey Shore.
If it’s between being disappeared or going to the Jersey Shore, then sign me up to be kidnapped.
Well, who wants to do holidays is a fascist country, with the constant fear not to see Yellowstone or Niagara Falls, but Guantanamo instead.
The American side of Niagara falls sucks balls anyways.
Pro tip: the American side of Gitmo sucks balls even worse
The Trump Regime has made it widely known that absolutely no one is safe visiting the United States. They’ve made travel by Americans, to American destinations questionable, based on ICE antics.
Does America want a healthy tourism industry? Then they’d better get busy smashing fascism.
As it stands, it is simply not advisable to travel to the United States.
