They’re not “boycotting the US”, they are afraid to visit an authoritarian regime that is arbitrarily detaining people at the border and persecuting minorities they may be a part of because a whole bunch of their governments have issued travel advisories about it.

Admittedly, the whole “legitimately fearing for your life and bodily autonomy” part is a real good motivator for a “boycott”, but the word may be a bit of a stretch at that point. You don’t see the US press going “foreign tourists boycotting Russia”, do you?

This will work out great in Florida. We were already losing tourism over our conservative bullshit, now this.

The US is overrated anyway. Mostly smoke and mirrors, and a rampant nazi infestation.

The world has better places to see

Don’t come here. Literally nothing to do or see here anyway. There are better, more affordable, easier to travel to, and kinder people to visit. We need to be completely closed off from the outside world like North Korea or Russia. Then maybe we’ll stop voting for fascist or laissez-faire neo-liberals, and get an actual party that cares about the working class.

This is 100% not true; there are amazing museums and national parks and a host of other things. Don’t go there now, but your statement is patently false.

Yes, many other countries do. Yes, going to those countries right now is better. To say that the US has none of those is still incorrect.
