we can't do much, but we won't be returning to the US until Trump is gone. Vacationed every year but 1 out of the last 9 or so

it isn't much, but maybe money will talk *shrug*

Of course, if our dollar starts kicking the US dollars ass I may change our mind to take advantage (Mrs Beak is on the Ipad researching Europe trips for next March Break already)

Responses:

yeah. I'm out too. mostly because of customs bullshit. the dollar thing probably won't happen though. more likely to go the other way. - mafic Jun 1, 18:43
Oh yeah? WE are going to cancel our trip to Banff next year and go to Disneyland to make up for your protest -- nm - Bacon Jun 1, 18:38 2
- Actually we were going to the Caribbean and we are still going to the Caribbean. -- nm - Bacon Jun 1, 18:43 1
  - Not the Pirates of the Caribbean though -- nm - Bacon Jun 1, 18:43
I will to a point. - Reagen Jun 1, 18:23 4
- we've done Disney twice, Universal, beaches, so we can just go other places -- nm - Beaker Jun 1, 18:27
- Go in December! -- nm - Baywatch Jun 1, 18:26 2
  - It'll be 2 years minimum, fwiw. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 18:30 1
    - But December! -- nm - David Jun 1, 18:38
Understand and won't try to sway you. The potential alternative is visit blue cities that are the center of ant-Trump and support their economies - ty97 Jun 1, 17:51 1
- Yup, come to California before you need a separate visa :) -- nm - Meg Jun 1, 18:14
:-( -- nm - Krusty Jun 1, 17:48
I *really* need to schedule a visit to my brother in Nova Scotia. Maybe I can talk him into a road trip while I'm there :) -- nm - Meg Jun 1, 17:43
*very sad fist bump* - Andie Jun 1, 17:40 21
- I get what you're saying but you're not hurting him. you're hurting the business and emplyees and cities that need your money. -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:26 18
  - For me it's not a boycott. It's that your country has increasingly stated that your borders are hostile. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 19:04 1
    - Now, that said, I've already visited for three weeks this year, and each entry was uneventful. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 19:05
  - But there are consequences. People vote when their lives, personally, get affected. If nothing - Andie Jun 1, 18:31 1
    - Look I get it. But the amount of money that you would give the Fed govt, wouldn't even come close to the money the local and state economies would get - Remlik Jun 1, 18:35
  - Which is EXACTLY what makes a boycott effective. -- nm - TWuG Jun 1, 18:31 4
    - THe most popular destinations for foriegn tourists are areas that are heavily democratic (except Fl and southwest) -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 1, 18:42
    - except you missed the point. it won't effect him. at. all. It effects the majority of the people who didn't vote for him -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:33 2
      - And all the people who didn't vote at all. A shit economy is the quickest way to get this asshole out of office. -- nm - TWuG Jun 1, 18:36 1
        
        I'd like to think that, but I suspect the poor will vote for him again becuase he's a 'businessman' -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:38
  - and maybe they will realize to vote against him as a result... -- nm - Beaker Jun 1, 18:27 8
    - which the majority of the USA did. -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:34 6
      - But not enough -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 18:34 5
        
        So....punish the majority of people who didn't want him? It's the electral college that effed us. -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:37 4
        
        It's the people that didn't vote that effed all of us. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 1, 19:24
        
        most votes doesn't always win. that's always been a factor in your system. - mafic Jun 1, 18:50
        
        It isn't really about punishing. I have l limited vacation dollars, I feel better not spending them there right now. - Andie Jun 1, 18:39 1
        
        i feel ya -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 1, 18:43
    - and we got in in Feb/March but now I am just really hesitate to tackle your border again. So, why bother when I can go elsewhere... -- nm - Beaker Jun 1, 18:33
- okay, NOW I am pissed at Trump :( -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 17:51
- I'm starting to think I'll be turning down a free trip. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 17:42
