I am an American and very concerned about where we are headed as a country. We treat all of our allies terribly and now Russia is our friend? Don’t come here-things are too unstable
I’m American and I don’t even wanna be here. Honestly I’d love to be in Canada but for the weather. If Canada were to annex where I live (DC) I’d be 100% in favor of it, America treats us like its bitch anyway.
The day that all the soggy burger-lettuce that’s holding him together finally gives out will go down in history as the 2nd time that ‘Ding Dong the Witch is Dead’ reaches number 1 in the UK music charts.
Because of my husbands work, we would often have to go out to NYC. I always considered it my second home. I also enjoyed travelling out to the west coast, specifically Manhattan Beach in California.
But theres always Paris to replace that void of NYC and pretty much anywhere else in the Mediterranean to replace cali. A definite upgrade. My husband had left the company a couple years back to start a new company — one based in Canada with some former execs. So we no longer need to go to NYC.
We will never be returning back. And on behalf of all my friends who faught in Afghanistan, America can get fucked.
I am not from Canada but I work with client all over the world and have raised my rates for US clients by 25% + 5% buffer due to instability.
I also raised prices on digital products I sell on US owned marketplaces.
Don’t come back. Not because you’re not swell or anything, but because we truly won’t be better just because Trump is gone. The disease runs deep here, he’s just a symptom - an entire party stands firm behind him.
While not Canadian - I’m currently rooting out all US services and products I’ve happily been paying for, cancelling outright or finding other alternatives.
I don’t see myself ever going back to happily buying US again.
I am currently trying to convince my employer to ditch Google and all associated services, as well as the US-based cyber security suites that are currently tanking the performance of all of our workstations. It would be nice if there was an easy replacement for Windows. Linux is a no-go for our IT people.
Last time I was in the US I was in Hawaii in January 2009. Obama was being inaugurated and because of time zones I had to get up early to watch it. Figured it was worth getting up for because it was kinda historical. So I was in the common area of the hostel where the TV was and there were four other people in the room, two women sitting up front, close to the TV, excited about the Obama being inaugurated. And there was a dude at the back of the room cursing and swearing because the stock market was dropping.
When the speech was done, we got to talking. The two women excited about the inauguration were Canadian. The guy at the back of the room angry at Obama because of the stock market (he’s literally being inaugurated, he hadn’t done anything yet) was American.
Just felt like there was something wrong with that country then and just didn’t feel like going back there again. Then Trump came along and he did nothing but reinforce that feeling. Had some small hope they might be able to get past their greed, ignorance, and racism when Biden got in, but that just didn’t happen.
Haven’t gone there in 16 years, and sure as hell not going there now.
I don’t blame any non-Americans for avoiding our shit show. Just give us till the midterms to turn it around or at least bottle it better. Peaceful resistance is the only direction for now.

Trump is symptom, not the cause, of America’s ailment. His death or a change of president won’t alter the underlying currents for many years, if ever.
We’ll miss you, but believe me, we totally understand.

Fascism or cold winters? It’s a toughie, all right!
The only reason I would go to the USA would be to piss on trump’s grave.

I don’t blame you. Right now I wish I’d been born in New Zealand.
After he’s dead and gone I STILL won’t be returning. Never again giving them a dime if I can help it.😡🇨🇦

Never going back.
There are many other countries worth visiting who contain a lot less people who are voting to walk over me to take my stuff.

I wont go to the US unless im going as a part of a military operation. Every single magat needs to be gone before the US can be redeemed.
