Many international competitions, such as international swing dancing, in the US have been postponed. Many international competitors don’t feel welcomed. Many organisers consider moving competitions to overseas.
We closed our own door. There is not a single one country can thrive without international trade. They are not coming back to the US
Local school is still going ahead with their class trip to US because they booked it before the shitstain got elected. They’re crazy - half the kids are brown and some are clearly 🌈 so I wish them the best but can’t imagine it’ll be flawless. They’re not planning another one though obviously.
It’s just getting started
Did they expect the world to be as riddled with dementia as Trump voters are?
Yes, Australia. Have you watched Sky News (Fox news sister station in Australia)?
They constantly quote each other as " international news source" to bypass the responsibility of backing up their claims. The anti immigrant sentiment is rapid.
Australians are eating it all up.
Marine Le Pen was projected to win the election in a few years. They run the same racist campaign in France.
England was that way until Trump scared the shit out of the Brits with tarrifs.
Don’t forget Brazil and Philippine.
The whole world is getting radical.
May?
It’s going to last for a long fuckin time. Years. If we’re lucky.
Hahaha, “May”. No this is the beginning of the end for America. Travel is ruined, inflation is sky high, no one is safe from being kidnapped, and no jobs are available.
Why would ANYONE want to travel to the US anymore? So many other cheaper, nicer, and safer places to stay where you are actually free and not surrounded by a police state.
“May”? — Please tell me what indicator they saw that would signal things would improve? That’s the laughable part. The World Cup is gonna be a shit show that they’ll practically have to give tickets away to at this rate.
I’m actually kind of excited to see the trump administration RUIN one of the best things to come to the US. FIFA will never come back here after the insanity that is about to go down. So many innocent people will be kidnapped by ICE for attending, so why even go?
As a US citizen…
Do. Not. Come. Here.
It is a dumpster fire and it is unsafe.
What about people who enjoy extreme sports and visiting dangerous places? You know like, people who visit war zones and tyranical dictatorships? I think USA might make it to the top ten along with Palestine, Afghanistan and North Korea.
To all foreigners, do not come here. Not bc we don’t love you, but bc FUCK OUR GOVERNMENT AND ICE!
I’m just one retired bloke from the UK so hardly representative, but my wife and I were planning a visit to New England next year which has now been binned for the foreseeable future. Canada is looking favourite at the moment.
Our east coast is absolutely beautiful, P.E.I., Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland all amazing places to visit
Indeed! Especially as I have relatives living there, who I’ve never met.
As a Canadian - not going back to the US for the far foreseeable future. This isn’t a “after next election” fix. There’s a deep cultural issue that needs to be fixed before I care to spend my money there again.
That culture is bleeding in to yours. Prepare yourself mentally, best of luck, and be safe!
As an American, there’s a deep cultural issue that needs to be fixed in order for the country to survive.
Canada beat fascism by only 3%, your next election is probably gonna swing it. Sorey
If you’re referring to popular vote share, it’s not a very meaningful number in terms of impact on the federal election.
The only number that matters in the end is seats in the house, of which the Liberals won 152 vs 120 for the fascist party - that’s roughly a 25% margin… not a tight race in any meaningful way.
Not saying it can’t or won’t happen here, just saying characterizing this last election as a 3% contest is grossly inaccurate in real terms.
Only a 25% margin?! That’s fucking terrifying!
It was going to go handily toward fascism, but the US beat them to it, and sentiment immediately reversed course. A similar thing happened during the great depression. When people are living in scary, divisive times, fascism looks like a valid solution…until the country next door does it.
It’s gonna happen. Fascism thrives on fear and uncertainty. Trump is just a trial run for every country. They will all have their very successful “Project 2025s”
There is hope, but if we talk about that sort of thing we will get banned from here.
European in an international field here. I usually travel to US for work once every year or so but told my boss I am not willing to - his answer? “Well, me neither, you are good”
Yup. Even if we eek out a miracle and elect a majority Democratic House and/or Senate we still have a Dictator in the Whitehouse and his admin has sprinkled loyalists all over the country. It will take decades to root out most of the fascists (some were probably there way before Trump ran the first time).
As an American, please don’t. Our country is a dumpster fire, and I’m urging everyone to…ya know…NEVER COME HERE!!! Seriously guys. It’s bad. You’re not safe here. Please don’t put yourself in harms way.
Also…can’t help but notice that you’re Canadian. Mind if I stay on your couch for the next 60 years?
Can i sleep on the other side, like Charlie’s grandparents did in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Idk depends how stinky your feet are
My feet aren’t stinky, but they can be dry in the winter time.
Expert you say? And these experts can only confirm this might happen?
Oof
Yes, just like the IT experts at DODGE, they lack any real experience.
Wow, brilliant take: anyone who can’t GUARANTEE what will happen in the future is obviously not worth listening to.
Do you consider yourself an expert? Would you personally say, with confidence, there is a very high likelihood of the given outcome?
Or are you just completely obtuse??
It’s kind of like someone saying they’re an expert on the Harlem Globetrotters.
Then they say the Globetrotters MAY win their game.
…are they really an expert at that point? To not be able to see something SOOOO obvious???
may
😂
It’s September but I think they got confused because of their stupid date system.
No caption needed. That’s just a picture of what happens in America. The only country where it’s popular to shoot your problems as an early option.
I think the saying “Shoot first, and ask questions later” originated here, did it not?
I could try asking someone, but they’re unlikely to answer me after I start shooting.
I’d say it’s likely to get worse. Lots of people with forward bookings likely kept them as they would lose their money otherwise. They likely won’t have that cohort of now-unwilling tourists next year.
This year the business devoted to tourism willl struggle. Next year the will start to go under. The year after that is when things get really ugly.
Likely some will go under this year. If enough go under, there’s enough tourists to support the others. The longer they last, the more the others struggle. Catch 22.
