It’s for the people in the back, don’t want them to get tortured listening to MAGA propaganda.

Anyone who still goes to the U.S. when they don’t absolutely have to is an open supporter of fascism, and deserves whatever happens to them.

We weren't planning and we've all known this for a year now. We really don't need or want further input from Americans

Hey now. Fully 1/3 of Americans are currently being held hostage in a fascist regime. We should be ready for refugees, and treat them accordingly. They don't need our denigration on top of their daily struggles.

Also, some of us are here trying to change things. Global working class needs to unite here. The problems of workers are not isolated to here, they’re global.

That's fine, when it goes to shit they can come on over. Just shut the fuck up about it.

It has become the "shithole country" that the copper coprolite always ranted about.

Booked a airbnb while back in Florida, Feb 2026....getting nervous now, even though we have family and friends all over the US. People are great, but damn....lot of bad shit happening now.

Good luck.

Personally I'd cancel that shit and go somewhere else.
There's a whole world of amazing places out there, and a lot of them aren't 'run' by obese paedo fascists. I'd go to one of those places.
