Never going to the US then.

Also, fuck Trump.

Um. US citizen born and raised, here. I have many feelings of hostility toward (many of) the citizens, (much of the) culture, government, and institutions, of the United States.

Am I good, or…..?

Believe it or not, straight to El Salvadore.

Tough question. Depends on what your skin tone is.

Too dark, straight to CECOT without trial.

If you pass for white, they'll have to find more roundabout ways to label you a foreign agent, like if you are friends with any immigrant whose second cousin's neighbor's wife is a politician who is critical of America, or if you qualify for citizenship for any other country due to heritage.

If you're white and rich, you're probably good, as long as money continues to find its way into the right pockets.

Do your feelings and opinions align with MAGA? If so, you’re good. Note: you may need to update your feelings and opinions as MAGA priorities shift. After all, MAGA is less of a philosophy and more of a 32-conspiracy-theories-in-a-trenchcoat kind of thing.

Like it fucking matters, they'll find whatever excuse they need to reject you anyway, and if you manage to get through, they'll interrogate you about your love for Trump and suggest maybe you need to buy some Trump crypto and a new phone if you really wanna get into America

I'll bet if you answer that you don't have social media, you get immediately disqualified.

So, they surpass North Korea in their search of criticism of the dear leader?

[–] hefejefe@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Yep, gotta be careful what you post/share these days. Been that way since citizens united, now that I think about it.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 3 points 10 hours ago

That is just fucked up.
