    I have been to the United States a handful of times.

    The two things that went through my head each time:

    My odds of getting shot just went up.

    No matter what, don’t get injured, and if you do, get your ass back to Canada.

    That’s the undercurrent of uneasiness I experienced before Trump.

    Now the United States has the Gestapo snatching people off the streets.

    I do not want to go there again, and would advise anyone to stay away from the United States.

      I live on the other side of the world, so my chances of going to the US are much lower than yours. Nonetheless, I have always maintained the same opinion.

      It is not worth going to the United States. If I say the wrong thing or step in the wrong place, I’ll be shot or sued or both, probably in that order. And if I’m injured, I’ll be financially ruined.

      If my employer wishes me to go to France or Switzerland or Japan, who they do business with regularly, I will be willing to go. But if they ask me to go to the United States, who they also do business with, I will refuse even at risk of losing my job, which I like very much. I believe it is one of the most dangerous “civilised”, “western” countries now, at least to outsiders.

    The USA will be the first country to host the World Cup and lose money on the deal.

    Tourists will go to Canada and Mexico for the games.

    Only Americans will go to the USA games.

    Turns out : there’s not that many USA soccer fans.

    How do I do a put on World Cup futures ?

    For real. If I wasn’t already here, I wouldn’t come to America for any reason. The odds of being detained and / or hassled have skyrocketed. Of course it’s exponentially worse if your skin color is on the darker side…

    Fuck I hate this government.

      At this point I wouldn’t even be surprised if they detained me on the border for being too white. It’s suspicious! What am I hiding?!

      I don’t think I’ll be visiting your beautiful country in the next few years unfortunately.

    I keep seeing people on the right say, “No one has a sense of humor anymore.” There’s nothing wrong with my sense of humor. This shit isn’t funny. You have to have the mental maturity of a twelve year-old to find it funny.

    As an American it’s another reason why I think we should be barred from hosting world sporting events. Also why the Olympics should be moved. The US is not to be trusted.

      No, they need to go ahead and go through with it, and then watch their Olympians get detained by the American government, and the backlash would be glorious

    Wow, right out loud in the open. I wonder if they’ll make it a slogan, like MAGA. “Go home or talk to Noem!”

    God, this world is bleak.
