To friends of democracy around the world: we need your help.

You know that the Trump regime is brutally attacking US democracy. Most of us did not vote for Donald Trump (half of us didn’t even vote in the 2024 election). But he feels he has a mandate to take a wrecking ball to the constitution.

Like most bullies, the regime can be constrained only if everyone stands up to the bullying – including you.

First, if you are considering a trip to the United States, please reconsider. Why reward Trump’s America with your tourist dollars?

Spending by non-Americans in the United States is a significant source of tax revenue and a major “export” of this nation. There’s no reason for you to indirectly support Trump’s economy.

Many international travelers concerned about Trump’s authoritarianism have already canceled trips to the United States. You might do so, too.

Last week, the US president threatened a 200% tariff on European wine and alcohol after calling the European Union “one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World”.

Why reward this bellicose rhetoric? Many Europeans are already skipping trips to Disney World and music festivals.

    I’ve hardly seen such stupidity in my life… you are the enemy from within. You’re un-American trash…

    I don’t have some great love for the US, but reading your reply pissed me off. If you aren’t cheering for the home team, get the hell outta the stadium. I pray to God that folks like you get their wish and move out of the country.

      What kind of pissweak boot gobbling fucking comment was that. Your country’s founding mythology is literally Refusing To Put Up With Bullshit.

        What is your incoherent aussie ass talking about? I mean, you’re typing. Why is it still hard to understand you?

          I know you think you’re being smart and denigrating the aussie patois, but honestly, all I can think is “…yeah that’s about the level of english comprehension I’d expect from the American education system”

      We are willing to die for your sins.

      Just curious did you join the military for money?
