if i wanna see primates throw shit at each other i can go to my local zoo
Huh I thought they didn’t want foreigners tho
Get rid of Capitalism, problem solved. Educate people, spread awareness. Scientific Socialism is the only sustainable way forward.
How would that solve tourism? There should ideally be no tourism under socialism, it’s a waste of resources.
Sir, a second Trump presidency has hit the US.
It’s fine, they’ll keep printing money so everyone can keep buying nvidia chips, no reason to worry
Every set of policy decision has its winners and losers. It really feels like everyone other than the grifter-in-chief and his pals are losing now though.
A lot of the pals aren’t even winning. It’s mostly just trump becoming richer.
“His pals”
The biggest companies on Earth. Trump is superfluous, like a tumor.
Remember Trump’s victory celebration? Bezos, Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, they were all ecstatic.
Watch, I think they’ll be on the stage whomever wins the presidency, because corporations are people and dollars are free speech.
These court decisions are precedent, they are now the law of the land. To rescind Supreme Court decisions we must have a constitutional convention. But we can’t even agree on bathrooms.
So, doom it is
Citizens United needs to die.
It can’t be done through the courts. Court always sides with precedent. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
So congress needs to write a law, and stop screwing around with their parliamentary goofball rules and vote a simple majority to clean house.
This will then be reversed by our two stupid parties, back and forth as one or the other wins and changes the law.
Only a constitutional convention can put a stop to this by our existing government. Our current “What does Amazon Want” republic sucks
ya but didnt they just rescind Roe V Wade?
cant it go both ways?
I think the US is visually stunning and I really wanna see the national parks and Big Sur and go to Oregon and see awe inspiring beauty of that state. Just a major case of fascism makes go yuck. No thanks.
Canada is alternative option. British Columbia has similar geography to Oregon and we likewise have national parks. There’s lots of regions where Canada and US each have complementary national parks on the border with hiking trails that cross the border into each other’s parks. I don’t know how those are being managed under the current state of affairs however.
Rest of America is beautiful too, just avoid the fascist countries, you won’t be able to see it all in a lifetime either way.
I want to see the US during halloween. It must be so insane and so weirdly wholesome.
What other holiday actually builds community trust than halloween? Best way to meet all your neighbours
To see Halloween, come to Canada instead! We also do that. You just need to speak to some locals to know where is the best place. Usually it is where the rich lives. I usually prefer to stay where I live, but if visiting for that, there are some places where it’s more impressive.
And as a bonus, we don’t have fascists in power.
Neat. Having grown up with it, it never really occurred to me that it would be extra neat to see when visiting from another country.
It’s not just the kids, it’s the adults too - everyone’s encouraged to be outdoors after sundown, the streets are buzzing with excitement
Boy, my friend, I think you might find yourself disappointed if you ever do make it for one of our Halloweens. Like everything, it’s not like the in the movies. But it is a fun night. I hope you get to see it some day.
Meanwhile China’s tourism is booming. Especially thanks to the 30 day unilateral visa free for most countries. Except of course for you know who…

Plus I don’t have to disclose any social media, including your LinkedIn nor do I have to answer these inane questions like are you a Nazi? Strangely enough a few years ago that would be a disqualifier but it seems to make the immigration process go smoother now.
Finally some good news
Thanks Obama! /s
Dude every day I get reminded this is sleepy Joe’s fault. 😴🙄
This hit Florida a while back. Hell, I-4 isn’t even a Mad Max style hellscape right now.
Who would have thought that a GeStaPo randomly taking potential non-Americans off the street and and putting them in concentration camps could lead to tourists looking for safer destinations?
After all the hassle for PLAYERS AND OFFICIALS for the World Cup, nobody should be even mildly shocked about this
I am. I am shocked people are still going.

Overseas visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year
Graph in article: Number of visitors declined by over 10 million from Canada alone (from 20 million) since the start of Trump’s second term. Other countries have similar trends, but with smaller initial numbers.
I’m not sure if I understand how they define year-on-year.
In tourism, Mexico and Canada are not considered “overseas” but “cross-border”. It’s much bigger news because overseas visitors are high spenders and stay for longer than cross-border visitors.
Let’s get those numbers down
Maybe there was already a huge drop in 2025 - one set of numbers is since this presidency started, the other is since a year ago.
That’s what I thought too, but then the graph would look different, with a plateau or even an increase for the last bit. But currently it goes down in a pretty straight line
olympicsworld cup probably f’d up the numbersedit* Sorry brain not ready yet
There was literally a world cup with more countries than ever.
How is it mind-boggling? You elected fascist, felon, narcissist Dementia Don, and he’s fomented far-right assholes to his ranks. This has made America a cesspool, and it’s deserving of the scorn. And threatening sovereign states is making it worse.
At this point, it seems the point is to make the place malcontent, which adds to more of the far-right ranks, and it snowballs into needing intervention.
Tourists don’t care about all that. They care about 19 year old girls being detained and repeatedly strip searched and mothers being detained on accusations of voting in US elections.
You elected fascist, felon, narcissist Dementia Don
Twice.
Ya ya increase more controversial checks at the border. Int. Tourists decreases. Shocked Pikachu face
You can thank Trump & Stephen Miller.
Trade war probably has nearly as much to do with it. Countries that are boycotting US goods will also have a strong aversion to traveling there.
