Daily reminder not to travel to the US. Yes, this cartoon is satirical but its still a bad idea and do you really want to support them with your money?
It's in many ways a beautiful country and lots of fun to visit. I used to love going there for holidays and road trips. I wouldn't consider it now of course, but that saddens me. I want to go visit, just as soon as sanity and humanity prevails.
Sucks it had to be like this, really wanted to visit my friends in Florida. They tried to convince me it'd be fine but damned if I'll support the US right now. Also I'm not rolling the dice on the gestapo.
Neither of those words have ever existed. In the interests of language simplification both have been replaced with "turrist".
Please take care to review your Newspeak notifications citizen.
Someone who has gone through US customs please comment if this actually happened to you. I see way too many straw man cartoons, and I hate to see a Ben Garrison of the left.
The sea lion's questions in that Wondermark comic were perfectly valid and a good example of what to do when someone tries to dogwhistle their bigotry and then refuses to elaborate further.
I gotta find the link but a woman's American-born son was detained at the airport for 8 hours and asked about his loyalty to the US because he's asian looking and was heading to some middle-eastern country or some shit. So literal citizens are being stopped and questioned.
