When I was a kid some 30 years ago everyone wanted to go to America. It was seen as this amazing society where you could do anything, be anything, see anything!
It’s not that way anymore.
Now it’s seen as a dangerous place, where you have to take measures like in this article to protect yourself.
Trump really has destroyed your country’s reputation. It’s incredible.
For your safety, please don’t travel to the US. There is a very real possibility of you being kidnapped and sent to a slave labor camp without due process.
Laws and policies are different. The Trump administration takes much more extremist views towards laws on the books making their internal policies much worse (in most cases).
The trump admins have both been a shitshow but realistically they’re just taking the problems this country has always had and is blasting them on full display, and now people are finally starting to realize this country has ALWAYS been a capitalist shithole.

I am ashamed and afraid of my country.
Thats just not true. Damn you Americans want to be victims so badly.
but people have been deported while in america, even ones who are legal. https://www.npr.org/2025/04/07/nx-s1-5354921/deportation-el-salvador-albrego-garcia-supreme-court-dhs-ice-trump-administration, this is one i could find
Deportation isn’t being kidnapped and sent to slave labour camps.
The prison is a labor camp you twat.
so you aren’t American yourself, but you think you know our situation better than us? interesting logic there…
It is true.
You might want to switch news feeds if you missed that memo.
Unless you can provide evidence then it isn’t true. Why would I watch American news to begin with.
These policies pre-date Trump. But to be fair, the media refused to acknowledge a lot of these problems until Trump was president.

Turns out the monetary value of reputation is less than our dollar lol
We have pretty much the same policies as the USA when it comes to digital rights, including border force being able to search your devices upon entry.
Yeah we are going down the same path unfortunately.
I think we will be pretty fucking close once we have PM Potato
European here.
Same.
