And if you’re a flight attendant or pilot? Or any other profession that involves international travel?
The usa should be completely boycotted.
Flight staff are obviously a very fringe example that you have chosen while trying to make a point. Even they would not have to deal with that mess, and would not be supporting it, if the rest of the world stopped travelling to the usa.
Decent people = a decent planet.
While I respect the sentiment you’re trying to convey, the point I was trying to make is most folks aren’t willing to upend their careers and livelihood for their personal beliefs.
Fathers/Mothers who are required to travel for work aren’t going to drop everything and starve their families all for a protest.
No one is forced to travel to the usa. If the usa were boycotted as it needs to be, no employer would be sending staff there, and no staff can be sent there is everyone refuses.
People need to stop making excuses
"all for a protest" ...protesting the evil empire seems kid of important, it's not like the people of the usa want their country to be anything aside from evil, they just keep waving flags for red evil, and for blue evil. The rest of the world needs to shut that shit down.
OP probably needs to look at a burner phone, and would also need to put some 'i love trump', 'blow up the world', or 'usa for pedophiles' posts on it just to be on the safe side.
As an American, I want it to not be evil, and as a commie, I hate the Republicans and the Democrats.
The problem is I can't get out. I wish I could get to safety. Someplace where the government won't attack me for being a trans girl.
If you have any advice for me, please share it.
There are good people everywhere, somewhere like the usa would have always been a problem for them, now even more so. I would assume leaving by land, is easier than air? I do not live there though, so have no idea what the land border situation is now. It is still a question of having the finances and somewhere to live when you get to the other side.
Internally the democrats are no doubt the lesser evil, especially when compared to trump. Long term the people of the usa really need to kick them both out.
Internationally the usa is war on earth either way.
