What a surprise that people do not want to visit a country while it is in a speed run to the bottom. You never know when shit hits the fan with full force. You just know you do not want to be there when it happens.

    I fucking live here but I’m not a doctor so nobody wants to take me. I’m exploring options from my Eastern European heritage now to try and apply for asylum in the same country that my grandfather fled almost 80 years ago.

    If my grandfather were still alive to see me attempting to flee what he fought against as a 17 year old soldier, it would absolutely make him sick to his stomach.

    I hope you manage to get out. I might be wrong, maybe the USA get their shit back together, but it sure does not seem likely from outside. I will tell you this, when my fellow countryman give fascism the majority (50% for the AfD in Germany) i will get the fuck out because as far as i am concerned at that point its already the enemies territory.

    Those cases where they put tourists into jail for no reason at all for several weeks were headline news here in Germany and I assume also in other parts of the world. That will harm your tourist industry.
