the anti-US movement in Canada includes avoiding entering the US as much as possible and going anywhere but the US for vacations.
I flew into JFK airport in NYC on Friday night on an international flight from Mexico. My usually full Jet Blue flight was half empty. We each had our own row of three empty seats. I joked that a lot of peeps must have refused to return to the US. I wished I was one of them. But the best I could do was plan to leave again in a few months. Normally there are lines to go through Immigration at JFK. Not this time. There was literally nobody else going through Immigration but us. The huge room was empty. And by no line, I don’t mean a short line. I mean not one single other person ahead of us. It was kind of spooky how empty that airport was. I’m guessing that people all over the world are traveling to “anywhere but the US”.
I didn’t experience any hostility in Mexico toward me because I’m American. But I’m a Mexico-loving American and those who hate Mexico and Mexicans don’t tend to go to Mexico. We did talk some politics down there but people there understand that many Americans did not vote for Trump just like I know that many Mexicans are not cartel criminals.
I’m still shocked by how quickly Trump went after our two closest neighbors in Canada and Mexico even though I know that nothing he does should shock me.
I’m with you in my anger at the millions of Americans who did vote for Trump.
