Good, this gives me a little hope that the rest of the world is starting to understand how awful the US is, and that there just might be a few actual consequences for that awfulness.
Travelling to the USA right now sounds absolutely insane. Like who would even consider it?
You get to the airport. Then you have to unlock your phone and let a random moron sift through its contents.
It’s literally a recipe for disaster/arrest. The cops over there are fucking deranged. Sorry for any good ones. But you’re like the 1%. Police brutality in the USA is shocking to Europeans. I would be scared to be pulled over. Am I getting a ticket or a headshot/arrested for years?
Also I could imagine that if you refuse to unlock the phone, you’ll also be arrested. And by „I could imagine“ I mean 100% sure.
They could plant anything in there or claim they found terroristic messages. No thanks.
The USA are like Russia and Iran now.
And to think that, as a teen, I actually dreamed of moving there. Good lord thanks mom and dad for telling me it’s a fucking stupid idea. I would regret it now.
I'm a us citizen living in Japan and I wouldn't consider. Unless someone's dying, I'm staying out. Taking my non-white wife who barely speaks any English is 100% out of the question.
Be safe bro. Do not take your wife anywhere near that shithole.
They need to get their democracy back and prove that they can sustain it. Your wife would be in danger. Good decision by you.
Thank you. I'm also a Canadian citizen so, if family really needed to meet and weren't dying, we'd probably go to Windsor or something and have them meet us there.
Yes! That’s a good idea. Kind of „neutral ground“ kinda thing. Stay safe and best wishes to you ❤️
