It’s still years out. Boycott the 2028 Olympics. Sorry for the athletes, but America is Rancid and unsafe.
Start with all the US held games of the World Cup next year, would make quite the statement if the Mexican and Canadian held legs sold out but the US did not. Would be noticed by Trump as well as hes been cosying up to the head of UEFA
Considering European tourists keep getting detained there should be a travel ban in place until this administration is gone. If nothing changes within the next 3 months travel here could become a death sentence. The Alien enemies act allows him to send people to EL Salvador without due process. You've seen those videos and pictures. It will be on your country to get you out. Our courts are struggling to even get people back despite the fact that we are not at war so he cannot legally (lmao imagine a felon actually following the law) do that.
Don't risk your life to come here, and if there's a problem with your immigration status self deport. This country is going to be destroyed at this point.
I’ll never be visiting the USA ever again.
I’m trans. I’m not risking going to a country where a third of the population actively wants me dead and the other two thirds don’t seem to care either way. That country’s rotten to the core.
I can understand your point of not wanting to travel to the US and you're correct that there is a high number of people that have a negative view of anyone "different" than them. And I would probably say it's a good idea not to for the reason you gave and more, but there are many very passionate people that are fighting for the rights of everyone in America, they just don't get the press so it can be easily interpreted that no one in the US cares.
There are rotten people in power and due to their station they have control of the microphone which makes it sound like that is what everyone thinks. That isn't true.
That's great to hear, I'm sure it'll be a huge comfort when I rot in an ICE cell for weeks, months, because the CBP agent didn't like my face!
Yeah, I ain't comin'.
They weren't trying to convince you to come, they were trying to gently explain that it's a little mean to judge 100% of the people for what is happening
there are many very passionate people that are fighting for the rights of everyone in America
Yeah, that fight has been lost. Nobody should voluntarily come to this country. It's just not worth the risk.
rotten people in power and due to their station they have control of the microphone which makes it sound like that is what everyone thinks. That isn't true.
Maybe, but it is what the voting majority thinks. The US is, in fact, garbage.
The people who care are a minority.
An important one, yes, but hardly large enough to even protect themselves.
But most US citizens are either reactionary conservative or neoliberal - and neither truly care about minorities.
I honestly believe the number of Americans who actively oppose Trump, to the extent of fighting instead of tolerating him, rivals your tech unionization rates.
going to a non-red state is still supporting trump through taxes.
Dude I love the guys that are like “well WaPo isn’t reporting it and the Americans didn’t email me specifically about their plans to resist so they must all be rolling over”
Considering how absolutely pathetic the American "resistance" has been for the past eight years I'd say you're solidly in the "put up or shut up" phase now.
Yeah. Germany had more turnout on the streets against a far right populist party who isn't even in power. Germany has around than 1/4 the population of the US. And go to hell with "population centres far apart,etc." It's simply not a valid argument.
Germany even had more turnout when the actual Nazis did take over.
So did Italy with Mussolini or Chile with Pinochet.
The country who basically did claim to be the pinnacle of democracy for decades and flooded half of south America with illegal arms they claimed to need for "protection their freedom"? They rolled over. Chuck Schumer rolled over and voted yes and so did the remaining population.
Jesus you need to chill.
The whole point of America is not caring, I shouldn't care about your decisions and you shouldn't care about mine, we call that freedom.
It's the people who care who are the problem.
And that's precisely why you have a country but lack a civilisation.
I was in the US once because of a business trip, I was there for 4 days and had 3 interviews with the border police. Not doing that again even if the company is paying for it.
I mean I live here. So I'm just trying to boycott all conservative companies and refuse to travel to any red state.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
