I hope when Trump is out and this is all over that we finally figure out as a country that it's actually a good thing to have people come here.

You guys as a nation have broken the World's trust. You were in a privileged position of trust after WW2 that you will never return to, whether trump leaves office or not.

The World's boycott on the states doesn't end with trump, he's merely a symptom.

I know nobody in my circle of knowing in Canada is EVER travelling to, or spending money in/on the states ever again.

Treating US as a single location is a bit naive even though I understand where you're coming from. If we manage to get the orange pedo and other nazis out of fed, you can safely visit. Nothing wrong with continuing to punish the cunts who voted him in by not buying Kentucky whisky though.

The US is a single location. Americans vastly overstate the cultural differences among Americans.

As a trans woman who has tested my rights in state level courts, I couldn't disagree more. The difference between the rights I have in my own state and the rights I have in many others are absolutely massive.

I honestly can't think of any country about which this statement would be more wrong and I've lived in a bunch and been to a lot of them. But like I said in other comments, I don't blame you for punishing US as a whole.
