The US. I’m Scottish, 56 years old. I’ve been tot he US many times when I was younger, first time when I was 17 for just about 6 months.
I took my kid to the original Coheed & Cambria Neverender in 2008 in Manhattan when he was 15.
I made the decision to never go to the US again during Trump’s first term when they implemented the Muslim ban. My good friend is Scottish Muslim. He had a holiday booked in the US for him and his family and had to cancel it. I can’t stomach racism or any of the hate shit.
Seeing what’s happening now simply reaffirms that I made the correct & right choice.
Like you, my boycott started in the first Trump term. There are places in the US that i have dreamt of visiting since i was a child - but i have decided to never realize those dreams because every dollar i would spend in the US would help prop up a racist authoritarian regime.
The US is one of the countries I would have enjoyed visiting again, but just can’t see myself ever doing it. In addition to the whole fascist thing being awful on its own, dealing with any US institutions/agencies remains a hard no for the foreseeable future.
