A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

People dont know what to do about it. Its as simple as that. They dont see any available action that they see any chance of being fruitful... plus they are too busy thinking about how theyre going to pay their next bills.
This is it 1000%
In the US, probably 75% of the population will irreparably fuck up their entire life from a single missed paycheck, which can happen if you miss a single day of work because you were illegally detained.
Not like "oh, I'll need to pay a late fee fuck up", I mean, "you and your kids will die cold and hungry under a bridge" fuck up.
Yes but, if you live in Canada, it is very easy to NOT GO to the Untied States. One of my complaints is people in my country continuing to walk into the burning states as if they see nothing wrong or dangerous about it. It stresses me out.
Ah i see. Well i know im not going to the us anytime soon either. Simply having my phone searched and messed with at the border is already a big turn off. I have family members there that are still a valid reason to visit, but i agree that going to something like disneyland would be support for this degenerate state.
I'm pretty sure I'd get arrested crossing the border because I've made a lot of anti-trump posts on Facebook
There have been Camadians who have accidentally crossed into the United States because they took a wrong turn on the road, and ended up in detention for weeks.
I feel extremely uncomfortable living so close to a fascist country because of irrational fear of this happening. Luckily, I live in Newfoundland
People not coming to the US is already having an effect. Hotel occupancy is starting to drop off and prices are starting to drop.
I know it's anecdotal, but my Canadian coworkers all canceled their trips to the US. They all switched to Europe or Mexico.
I live in one of the biggest tourist areas in America, and business is WAY down, and I'm all for it. Let the big corporate tourism jackals feel the pain.
A bit over a year ago, we were making holiday plans including a trip to the US. When the orange menace got re-elected I convinced my wife that we should just do a longer Canadian leg for the trip. Best decision ever.
Good but I still know people going there like nothing is out of the ordinary. I won't be satisfied until nobody is going there. And these people I know don't support Trump. They know Trump is bad but they don't seem to think anything is out of the ordinary
