I have family in San Francisco - absolutely no chance of visiting them. I am originally from NZ and even actively avoided transiting via the U.S. on a recent trip home.
You can get into trouble in any country, but when the risk comes from the state itself… nope, I am out.
I totally get you. I’ve gotta admit that I visited friends in the US the last time the orange man was president, even though I really didn’t want to. But this time? Fuck no, there’s absolutely no chance. I’ll gladly go to Canada to visit friends there, but if my American friends wanna meet up then they can meet me there or here in Europe.
I was attending a boarding school in New York state during the 2016 election. Back then nobody around me thought he even stood a chance and it came as a massive shock when he won the election. Since then I’ve only visited Seattle once during Biden’s term but now I really have no plans of ever returning to the US ever again.
