When these people are finally kicked out, it'll take forever to repair the damage. Even simply considering the international standing of the US, the harm they've caused is massive. But that aspect ignores the immense human misery they're inflicting both home and abroad.
Oh God. We're not learning, are we? When Musk bought Twitter and it lost so much of its value, we were mocking him and talking about "backfiring". Today, it's clear it was a resounding success for his plan to buy the presidency.
And although we are sorry for him, don't stop punishing us and letting us know it's because of his policies. Let the people know how horrified the rest of the world is by him. That electing a fascist has consequences.
Yep, we cancel the Bahamas trip and postpone the Disney. We will wait the full 4 years if we have to. At the grocery store, they now put stickers on Canadian products.
Sorry but as a group Americans put this asshole in, all the while knowing what an absolute piece of shit he is. Rewarding an insurrectionist, rapist and crook in with the Presidency, they own his actions. And when their economy tanks they can look in the mirror.
I don't completely agree when people say "the silent majority" to describe the non MAGA. i see it more as "the not bigoted racist terrible humans that are not constantly screaming at everything like goddamn imbeciles".
Feeling more and more like the version of america in V for Vendetta here, aside from the godlessness part, it's the opposite causing this. https://youtu.be/sCiGyaSPRhI
This was likely intentional. Trump is literally the head of a Nazi death cult. He and his followers WANT as much suffering and death as possible. It doesn't matter to them if they or their loved ones are among those who suffer/die, just as long as there is as much suffering and death as possible. They made this goal OVERWHELMINGLY clear (thru action and in writing) over the past decade.
Dear Canada: Keep turning up the heat; the only way we're steering away from this madness is if that "silent majority" suffers enough pain from Trump's actions to stop being silent, and Trump eating shit on a trade war is going to be far less painful than other potential alternatives.
That's fair. At this point, any nation that cuts ties with the U.S. is justified; Trump is acting like a maniac, and it's unreasonable to ask folks to tolerate that just because of past comradery. The damage, tragically, is already done.
I used to travel to NYC weekly, and San Fran/Vegas monthly (with other trips regularly). I'd spend expense account money.
Trump's first term, I canceled all trips. All trips are canceled again.
So, yeah, even my spending is a drop in the bucket, but it adds up in small local border towns like Calais, ME (I lived across the river in New Brunswick, the economies were totally intertwined, I can easily see everything except gas, booze, grocery, walmart being in serious trouble.
Thanks, it really sucks! I was looking forward to it since last year but I have such a bad feeling about this that I eventually decided I‘d listen to my gut.
Really sorry you're missing out. Colorado is spectacularly beautiful. I hope you'll get a chance to visit when sanity returns over here.. wish us luck..
SAme: I was looking forward to finally visiting the USA again after 10 years and would be bringing my daughters along with me. But I will continue my boycott
There are pockets of dipshits everywhere. She has been driven from one district already and she is in her last refuge before getting booted there too. Just a matter of time.
You can't safely go to a country rounding up foreigners. Even as a white English person I'd be worried about being deported to El Salvador for being an aethiest, or simply looking at one of their authoratarian thugs they call law enforcement.
My pointing out to my old school's staff (my mom still works there) that some of the school's students would be at risk in Florida (gay and/or trans kids) caused their planned US trip later this year to be cancelled. They're looking at options in Canada and southern America now.
I had a Florida winter vacation lined up in March 2020. When the happening happened, before travel was officially cut off, we were debating the wisdom of going and I eventually decided that I didn't want to be in a country where that was in charge during an emergency of any sort, potentially blocking my return home and winding up in a "relocation facility' or some shit.
Its 5 years later and I have zero interest or desire to ever return. I've had this wad of US cash in my passport since 2020, but I think it's time to head to the bank to turn it back into real money.
Yes... too bad, because Colorado is a genuinely nice place. But I will not send a single dollar into the American economy. I had several restoration conferences on the books for the next 2 years in the US, but fuck em. No chance in hell now.
It’s not just about boycott, it doesn’t feel safe to go there. I can’t really explain it, my gut tells me I should stay home and that’s what I‘m gonna do.

The silent majority?!? Please consider that phrase again...

The silent majority should have been not so silent BEFORE he became the worst president USA ever had (so far)

Trump is a gangrenous limb. It's gonna hurt like a motherfucker to cut it off, we'll never be the same after but we have to do it to survive.

Most of Michigan supports this wholeheartedly. He's not only affecting the tourism he's affecting anything made in Michigan. As usual

"The Silent Majority" needs to be less silent

And a far larger majority for the rest of the world to even begin to believe you.

We will never stop, We dont care if you're sorry. The boycott will be indefinite.

I like how Canadians have the balls to stand up to Trump, while the GOP has been neutered by the same guy.

And then they'll blame Biden or the blacks or the gays or the women but never, never, never themselves. Ever.
JonSnowAKAAegonTargaryen
Not a majority when the non-voters are complicit in Trump winning. Your options were status quo, and ass-tearing diarrhea featuring dictatorship.

It's about the money, not if they care. Make it about the money.
Neorago
Cancelling trips is money. Hotels, food, flights, entertainment - tourism brings in a lot of money.
SubTrout
Why would anyone willingly travel to Florida if not for Disney world? A lot of international folks cancelling can be huge cut to their revenue.

Most sad is the survivalist bunkers, food provisions, Gravy Seal cosplay, and gun hording, preparing for the war they themselves created.
Awmph
they would like to stoke a civil war afaIct

He should have read the history, then he'd know what canadians do to Nazis. The geneva conventions were written to make us stop.

there is a tiny chance that enough pain will happen that people pull their heads out of their asses, probably wont happen, but there is a chance.
