It's going to take years to recover, decades even, if ever.

Nothing I hear from my friends in Canada or Europe say otherwise. They're all willing to dig in their heels and avoid this country like the plague.

Indefinitely.

Even if we elect (heh, like there'll be real elections going forward) someone else, this stain will stay with us for generations until people forget or forgive, and that's going to take time, if it ever happens in our lifetimes.

[–] puppinstuff@lemmy.ca 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yes, it’s this. It takes one dick at the top to issue the orders but after he’s dead or voted out we have to reconcile with the thousands of workers who executed the orders, and the millions that sat at home cheering them on.

No thanks, headed to countries that want me to visit not just my dollars.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

America doesn't even want its own citizens, just their dollars. It's a shit country.

None ever liked dealing with US immigrations anyway.

Yeah I'm coming into your country to go to Disneyland, of course I'm not a terrorist, what a stupid question. Yeah, feel free to drop my iPad, it only cost 2 weeks of earnings, I'm sure I don't mind.

No shit. The whole "potentially being arrested and thrown into a concentration camp because you tweeted something the president doesn't like" thing kinda puts a damper on tourism.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Who wants to go to all the trouble of planning an expensive vacation, pay out a lot for tickets and hotels and such, only to get off the plane, and be refused entry because they are demanding to go through your social media?There goes your vacation, and your money.

Fuck it, if I'm European, we're heading to Thailand or the Caribbean for the next few years.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 45 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Who the fuck thought it was going to improve after summer?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

Wait until next summer when he is stoking riots in the streets of every American city so that he can declare Martial Law and suspend the mid-term election. I'm sure they'll all want to come and watch that shit show.

do these experts get payed for these complex infos? any hiring?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 39 points 6 days ago

uhhh yeah that's what we've been saying

we're not coming back. fuck you guys. give us a solid decade of excellent behaviour and make up for your threats to take us over, and we'll consider thinking about making a plan to return

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 28 points 6 days ago

Tourists could also go to North Korea, but for some reason it doesn't draw crowds, I wonder why.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 33 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The World Travel & Tourism Council projected ahead of Memorial Day that the U.S. would be the only country among the 184 it studied where foreign visitor spending would fall in 2025.

I see... so this is what Makes America Great Again. Falling tourism spending.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 days ago

MAGAts hate foreign tourists, they make the US locals feel poor.

A downturn in travel to the us may be temporary, but America can go fuck itself forever.

As a US citizen, good. Our government will just keep being assholes unless people shun them (by taking away their money).

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 days ago

Same position, shut this shit down, it is going to be painful living inside it but it is absolutely necessary.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well that's what happens when the difference between you and North Korea is the quality of available Kimchi.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Kimchi is definitely more available in the US than in NK, just like every other kind of food.

You don't say? America, are we tired of winning, yet?

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I'm not going to the US while the turd is still in charge

When douche sandwich gets in though, i'm going to disneyworld

jk, i've actually lost interest in the US entirely tbh

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Either people voted him in and it was all legit, and that's scary, or they're all happily going along with rigged elections while fascists take over, which is also scary.

Why would it? The problem is still there. Even if Trump was gone tomorrow the Republicans that put all this in motion would still be in charge.

It's going to take a new government, several arrests, a change of the constitution so that this can never happen again, and at least 10 years of stability before the world trusts the US again.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Good. This needs to happen. So the clueless can finally accept that the US isn't the best. We as a people think we are the best fighters. We are really the biggest losers. Except perhaps for one shining moment right after WWII. Then we decided to become the worlds peacekeeper and have consistently lost every conflict since then.

Come on tell me those that disagree. Tell me one we won like we won in Germany and Japan. Where we ended up will allies instead of more enemies.

We are gonna lose this fight. The tourist can go anywhere in the world why would they come here?

[–] ravelin@lemmy.ml 12 points 6 days ago

No shit! Every time I read an article like this, I wonder what alternate reality the author and target audience have been inhabiting.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

What is wrong with people from abroad who don't want to be detained and cavity searched? In my day, this was the definition of a great vacation.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 12 points 6 days ago

I'm sure Nazi Germany never saw a downturn in foreign travel in the 1930's.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It'll last as long as the current administration holds power

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That would be a start yes. But who's to say that the new government will be stable, America could swing back to the right at any point. The rest of the world would need decades of stability to be convinced.
