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 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!
Same people who always pull the ladder up behind them.
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
As a short term resident in Germany, this is demonstrably false and a straight up lie. It could always change, but immigrants (and citizens who are not white) aren't getting disappeared and killed in the streets like in the USA.
Oh well, that makes the open participation in mass genocide ok then. So long as the horrors are happening overseas, that's fine, to the comfortable white German.
