Summary
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich urged a global boycott of U.S. travel to protest Trump’s policies, warning his administration is “brutally attacking U.S. democracy.”
In a Guardian op-ed, Reich called on foreign visitors, students, and skilled workers to reconsider coming, citing economic and safety concerns. He argued withholding tourism revenue could pressure Trump.
His plea follows Trump’s anti-immigration crackdown and rising tensions with Canada.
Reich’s call comes as Canadian travel to the U.S. has already shown signs of decline.
This is stupid.
He doesn’t care, because he doesn’t have to care.
So long as he has his violent inbred redneck base, which he has to the death right now, he will paint any and all protests as proof to them that the evil libtard eurocucks are just angry that America is standing up to them for once.
There is literally nothing you can do to get through to the core of his base, and it’s just large enough that he can ignore everything else, which is the only thing he learned in his first term, you only need 32% to win.
I don’t know if getting through to his core base matters - they are and always will be a lost cause. But people should protect themselves and Americans should feel the pain economically, from the top to the bottom.
It’s not necessarily about changing anything. It’s a matter of safety for those visiting.
