I feel like half the neighbourhood is on fire and everyone is carrying on like everything is normal (lemmy.ca)

The Untied States is literally becoming like nazi Germany and I don't know if people understand that I'm not exaggerating. I legitimately can't tell if people realize that America is now a fascist dictatorship, likely to soon go full on nazi Germany and make it explicitly illegal to be part of certain minority groups, at which point it may be too late for people to leave. I don't know if people around me understand that that's not an exaggeration.

People just keep on going to Disneyland as if it's perfectly safe. It's like watching people go to a store that's literally on fire and nobody is even trying to put it out. It's like people think if the fire department isn't reacting then it isn't happening

and my grandmother thinks it's funny to tell me canada is going to be the 51st state. Yes, so hilarious the fire might soon consume our house too

People not coming to the US is already having an effect. Hotel occupancy is starting to drop off and prices are starting to drop.

I know it's anecdotal, but my Canadian coworkers all canceled their trips to the US. They all switched to Europe or Mexico.

I live in one of the biggest tourist areas in America, and business is WAY down, and I'm all for it. Let the big corporate tourism jackals feel the pain.

A bit over a year ago, we were making holiday plans including a trip to the US. When the orange menace got re-elected I convinced my wife that we should just do a longer Canadian leg for the trip. Best decision ever.

Good but I still know people going there like nothing is out of the ordinary. I won't be satisfied until nobody is going there. And these people I know don't support Trump. They know Trump is bad but they don't seem to think anything is out of the ordinary
