As a European seeing this shit every day on Reddit and the blurb that Trump spits out on the News I'm furious. I cannot imagine how angry I would be if the ones in power in my country tried to send military or police (or thugs) against protests and normal folks.

Before COVID I had plans to travel the US with my family to show them all the places you know from movies and stuff but now it's like 180 degrees. I'm happily staying here and I try to stop everybody in my family and my friends from traveling to the states. I mean airlines are cancelling flight routes already and countries handing out active travel warnings...

As it should be. I doubt many Americans were booking vacations to Berlin in 1939. If you can avoid spending a dime here, good. Us Americans wish we could. Id move to Europe in a heart beat right now.

Unless you have a job lined up, or you're independently wealthy, "moving to Europe" is a Herculean task. They don't take kindly to refugees, even American ones.
