I would not fly to the US even if I got paid for it. I value my life and the US politics look like a serious threat to my wellbeing.
So, count me (German) into the group of „stay the hell away from the US“ people.
Don't worry. Americans will start coming to you when things start getting bad here. You're lucky though. You'll get the Americans who are able to travel by air.
Mexico and Canada will get ones who can't fly because they believe airplanes are demons.
Oh they're already here. One American expat I know greatly enjoys our affordable healthcare, childcare, worker's rights, tenant's rights, 30 days of paid leave, customer protections, etc. etc.
And she's a Trump supporter.
Oh, and she thinks there are too many immigrants coming to Germany.
Perhaps she would like to help reduce the amount of immigrants by getting deported herself?
If she gets her wish and Germany is ruled by the AfD party, she just might!
I hope they deport her to an immigration camp...
I have no idea why it's so common, but a lot of immigrants seem to hate immigrants. My parents are one of them
I seriously don't get it. You're the immigrant!
Probably had a bad experience with an immigrant-hating-immigrant and decided to hate all immigrants in response.
Same people who always pull the ladder up behind them.
Or they resent that they did it the "right way" and think other people are doing it the "wrong way", even if someone else is doing it fully legally.
Years ago I spoke to a Turk in Germany who said something similar about eastern europeans migrating to Germany. His argument against them migrating was that there are too many migrants in Germany already and he felt his livelihood was threatened because of it.
It actually makes sense from a a job security perspective (he was a cab driver).
I am experiencing a similar feeling in a different setting. We bought an old house in a tiny village. Me and my wife we both love nature and moved out of the city into a forgotten place. In the oast few years this place became popular and now more and more people are buying land and building houses here. I get why they do it, i did it too. Its beautiful here. But i just dont want them here. Soon this place will be another rowded popular mountain spot. I hate to think about it. I want it to remain calm.
It’s the ol’ ‘I got mine so buzz off’ attitude. Just another way humans try to be elitist.
The word is called immigrant.
Yes. A lot of people including ~~expats~~ immigrants do not understand this.
Of, fuck her.
We’d be happy to take her place. She should come back here to MAGAland if she likes it so much.
"Rules for thee, not for me"
And she's a ~~Trump supporter~~ fucking moron.
I live in the US and won't do any international travel under this regime for the same concerns when I inevitably have to return to the shithole of the Americas.
Don't worry, the current German government is just as evil.
The current German government is bad. But it’s far from being as catastrophic as Trump‘s shit show.
It's certainly more competent than Trumps, but it's just as evil, presuming you care about morality and not just the material comfort of white Germans
