    People tying their shoelaces should do the trick. Nothing is more off-putting to a traveler than false advertising.

    In the community I am in, there was a big kerfuffle over someone visiting their dying grandmother in Israel (socalled), but I never here a peep about people going to the usa (socalled), and tbh i rarely ever hear peep about the genocidal violence enacted by australia (socalled)

    so maybe, in answer to your question, a Jewish president? or something… dying geriatrics? Less red on the national flag?

    1. A ban on bootlicking US police
    2. Ban tourists from taking their daughters to ‘Jeffrey Epstein islands’
    3. Ban tourist wives to visit any US mansion with a net value more than one thousandth of that of Christian Gray
    4. Ban tourist men to visit bdsm-themed gay bars and not just the affluent ones.
    5. Ban tourist men from visiting nazi and MAGA bars just in case.
    6. Turning Oklahoma into an autonomous region for the indigenous people similar to Xinjiang
    7. Do the same for all other US states, except for those where the Anglo people are indigenous, meaning no exceptions

    I can’t think of others right, but there’s definitely more that needs to be done.

    Trump is already doing it.

    Tourism to the USA from their allies has dropped significantly. The new requirements to provide social media info will only make it worse

          I personally know Canadians who don’t support Trump and still willingly live in the Untied States for half the year, as if completely unaware of what’s happening

                  And more important than their own safety. Don’t they see that Trump is moving closer and closer to rounding up any non-citizens in the country? Even of I only cared about myself, I’d stay out of there out of basic self-preservation. What the fuck would have to happen for them to see that?
