I live in a major tourist city, and the word around town is that there will be a steep decline from foreign visitors, but many are still coming anyway, because they've had their vacations booked for months, and it's too late to change.

But if this keeps up, next summer will be a bloodbath.

Let's fucking go! Keep it up everyone, make people here really see and feel the consequences.

I'm under no illusion that anyone who voted for this will "feel bad" or regret their vote. As we have been seeing the people who voted for this do not regret their decision perse. However, the hate that fuels them will only take them so far. If things get bad enough quick enough they might be able to remember it the next time (if there ever is one). I think the cult following of Trump and their emotional sunk cost fallacy won't let them see that voting for Trump was a bad idea, but there is a small chance they will recognize and reject it in whoever comes next.

I'm under no illusion the above will actually happen, I just think it's the best that can be hoped for.

I work with some of those "haters". They will never blame Trump. Even when their wallets are getting hurt, they will just blame Democrats and the world.

One haters I work with worship Trump and she is an Asian. How ironic

I'm happy because this will hurt Florida's crappy economy the most.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Maybe people will finally stay the fuck out of that state.

Florida is a shitty place to visit anyways, it's all mosquitos.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mosquitos interrupted by daily rain and a hurricane or two every year.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. As an American, I hope America falls into a depression.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

No one alive today has had to live through a depression; I don’t think you really understand what you’re saying

What a shit situation that they have Americans hoping their own country fails.

I absolutely do not hope for a depression. You will NEVER see small business again. You will NEVER own a house. Our future will be utterly gone.

What we need is what can’t be said.

How bout Americans be their own tourists first then.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Before the trump admin was in, my partner and I were planning a trip to Big Bend in TX with the express goal of not spending any money in Texas. We're not traveling to any red states for vacations at all for the next 4 years, that's for damn sure.

America First Policy

I dont think thats the issue buddy. Its the "America is now Fascist" Policy that makes people not want to visit.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, we’ll see. It’s basically expecting the rest of the West to act differently. Maybe they’ll surprise me. However, it’s not like I don’t have perfect examples right off the top my head like France and Roman Polanski for instance. Kinda makes me think that people are shit no matter where they’re at, and they’re gonna visit if they feel like visiting here. If the marketing is good enough, the fascism won’t matter and I would be willing to bet on it.

No, I don’t think that Europeans are somehow better humans than any other human on the planet. We’re all shit and we’re gonna prove that correct.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think people would visit even if we were fascist. The thing keeping everyone away is the significantly greater than zero chance that you and your family might get picked up by ICE and questioned under duress for several days simply for trying to visit Disney World.

i’d say it’s both: why would you risk being detained at the border, potentially be subject to general abuse when you’re in the country because you’re “foreign”, detained in the country for… who the fuck knows, AND because america first means your tourism money supports a country actively bullying your home country

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

No way the vast majority of humans even know about people being detained at the border. I’ll say that confidently because it’s pretty obvious the amount of humans I interact with on a daily basis. Don’t know shit about shit about shit about shit. Now we got some of them, insisting Proven science like polio vaccines don’t actually work and are making you out to be the asshole if you get a vaccine and go out in public.

I don’t actually think that any human on this planet is any better than that. I would be willing to bet that most human beings know way more about someone like Tiger King or whoever was the latest Netflix special then they do about Politics or anything going on in the world. And this level of bullshit continues because there’s no end to people insisting that it’s perfectly OK to not pay any attention and then they turnaround and insist those same exact people need to go out and vote. The people that don’t know shit the people that don’t pay attention the that don’t fucking know anything are all voting And they think that it’s their damn duty to know nothing and vote.

And if you think any fucking person in any country is any different, you’re gonna be really shocked when you find out how shit we all are. 30% of the world will support fascism. Done. 30% of humans are fucked From the jump. That’s the reality we’re dealing with 30% the vein that continues through all of history. 30% of Humanity are shit. 30% of us are going to drag the rest to hell.

You forgot "extrajudicially kidnapped and shipped to a country you're not a citizen of," as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

My question anybody getting taken is

Why would you let anyone take you at all?

They won’t take me from my house alive and I don’t understand how they’re doing it to anyone else. I’ve been told since birth never let a man take me to an unknown place.
