America's sullied reputation

Hey Republicans....

Did you ever stop to think that ever since the gun violence here has gotten so bad and so frequent that other countries have issued travel warnings against the U.S.A. ... for being such a dangerous and violent country ... that investors, professionals, students, and tourists might decide to eschew America in favor of Canada, France, Australia, and other safer countries? After all, who would want to spend any time here, especially a person of color, if they’re afraid of being gunned down in cold blood in a store or a restaurant?

We'll be back when he's out of power. We used to be there once or twice a year - haven't visited since November 2016. I don't go where I'm not welcome.

It’s not just our government. It’s many of our fellow citizens that suck.
