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 Salvador.
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.
Never going to the US then.
Also, fuck Trump.
So, they surpass North Korea in their search of criticism of the dear leader?
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
Yep, gotta be careful what you post/share these days. Been that way since citizens united, now that I think about it.
I'll bet if you answer that you don't have social media, you get immediately disqualified.
That is just fucked up.
