Be careful on your return home. I'd (temporarily) remove all social media apps from my phone in case they want to see my post history and POV. Does not matter if you are a full blown US citizen dating back to Ben Franklin.
I would, but also it seems like they were going through people’s online accounts, so if you’re flagged for scrutiny then I don’t see how half of the US doesn’t end up in the same situation. And what will draw suspicion? I need a new passport, but the one I have has visas from Asia, Africa, etc.
I'm not blaming you or hating on you. I just hope folks in your situation are not hiding under my countries flag. Like you, we're stuck as an unwilling partner in this rodeo, too.
Reminds me of the W Bush years. Trump just put that shit on steroids. Although Biden did his damned best to make 🇺🇸 look awful killing Palestinians, letting Taliban takeover and Ukraine being so much more vulnerable without ability to attack Russia.
like i get Trump bad, but this is just low key xenophobia and as an American immigrant inn this country i hope folks can imagine why this shit makes me uncomftrable
If you're looking for the definition of The Ugly American the picture with the definition would be Donald Trump, to our national shame, the President of the United States of America for the next four years unless we can Impeach him. 🌅
We are traveling to France next week and anticipating a lot of hostility. Trump is a disgrace, a plague on democracy and completely ignorant of history
You shouldn’t anticipate hostility. The majority of people who wear red hats don’t possess a passport never mind travel. Classy, educated Americans are the ones that travel. Most people in Europe understand that!!!
We are traveling to Europe this summer and I have been filled with dread as to how we will be perceived. My plan is to keep my mouth shut and hope I'm mistaken for a Canadian.
Please come back to Europe and work together again. Forgive us for all the things that might have bothered you… and helped the nazi’s to divide and conquer.
Putin’s lapdog Trump suggests the U.S. seize Ukrainian power plants for “protection,” pretending it’ll stop Russian attacks. Meanwhile, a partial ceasefire on energy infrastructure is in the works. Is Trump working for America or Moscow?
They're the same tourists who make my eyes roll back when I am within earshot.
I like the Netherlands & Belgium because they don't immediately equate English speakers with the US & they can't tell by my accent so they treat me like I'm a Brit. 😉
May I ask what you do for a living? This small string of comments bothered me for a while and I realized why.
While you say Americans, that includes me and my ilk, but when y'all speak of tourists and employers, you speak of those rich enough to do those sorts of things. They do not represent us.
Feel a bit uneasy about that. Think of all the millions of Americans who tried to resist the Pandemonium with all their might. Interesting because I find myself wondering what the politics are of the Americans I hear (some of them very loud) around town.
Love the UK so much! Still can’t decide : move to Canada or move to the UK. Canada does get the Lindt chocolate now but then the UK has the original fish and chips…hmmmmm
I’m just feeling sorry for Americans. It’s one thing to be over here In the UK thinking it’s a shit-show. But to actually be living in a country you love and realising it’s being turned into a fascist state must be heart-breaking
Thank you for saying that. It is heartbreaking and frightening and surreal and lots of people here also don’t seem to notice just how bad. Like they’re so close they can’t see it. Does that make sense?
Just said this to my husband. This is really rich coming from ppl who just went through Brexit and worship their monarchs. Instead of mocking, they should be giving resistance advice.
Can we adopt one of you as our adult, Brits, ( this one hates Man C every bit as much as DUMP and Musk for the financial shenanigans they have pulled on English football.)
I don't blame them, look at the way our leaders are behaving. Like a bunch of unruly teens needing constant monitoring. When I finally get to Europe, I'm saying I'm from Canada, eh.
I love the Brits, but come on we aren't all losers (even some of us old ones didn't vote for this). But that Brexit-y thing...must feel good that the Americans can make that self-own look like a nothing burger in comparison to the Trump scourge.
We know it’s not all of you. And at least the two parts I’m visiting in the next 18months are in blue states so I expect normal people (Seattle and New York)
All of us? Oh well, I guess I will spend my vacation money somewhere else. I am the undefeated world champion of trump haters but I am not putting up with that garbage.
Now go praise your actual monarch you fucking posers :)
Can't say that I blame the people of London. Just like Tesla's stock price, I am afraid that America's reputation has suffered a dramatic drop in value!
We are going to spend five weeks in Scotland starting next month. Should we announce our disapproval of the current administration right away, hope no one recognizes us as Americans, or try to pass as Canadians?
You don't think people don't know the difference by accent?
Honestly do you ever have an issue knowing who is US? Each state has a unique accent, Brits are smart ass people lol!
Please do not pass yourself off as a Canadian unless you are prepared to act like one! That is polite, not self absorbed, worldly and please hold off on the eh’s and don’t pronounce it a boot!
You shouldn't be too bad in Scotland because the majority of Scots hate the English more despite the orange turds actions. The UK is full of countries, counties, regions, cities and even villages that cannot stand each other so a few Americans will fit right in 🤣
No, most voters did not vote for Trump. More voters voted for third parties & Harris, than those who did for Trump. Trump received 40 something percent of the popular vote. I believe 47%. Less than half of all votes.
Not the majority of us! Sorry, but I'm NOT responsible for this mess. Not only did I not EVER vote for IT, I did my damn best to warn people about him, especially this last election. I knew what he was going to do.
I totally feel the worlds anger. But have some empathy for those of us that didn't vote for IT and have to live *here*. It doesn't help us at all being berated for something we played no part in.
But by now I had expected your “well organised militia” to start doing something about your tyrannical government… isn’t that the point of all those guns…?!
And, Musk rigged the election for him to win. It may not have mattered, he was going to "win" no matter what. In fact, I'm positive that's what would have happened. tRump had to stay out of prison no matter the cost and he definitely made sure of it by promising Musk the keys to the kingdom.

I feel shame to be from here. Embarrassment. Apologetic.
Folks, this will not go away for a long time.
Our reputation is fucked for decades.
I'm so embarrassed of my country.
I did everything I could do to NOT get him elected.
What more could we have done?
But the world now hates us.
I bought very small buttons that say, I voted for her, to pin on my purse if I feel the need.
No, i am NOT kidding.
…honestly what’s safe?
Will have phone, laptop AND ipad.
Do I delete all my apps?
Since I'm from Oregon, it isn't too far a stretch.
😂
Didn't vote for him.
More Americans didn't than did.
Do you blame Hungarians for Orban? Russians for Putin?
Come on, man.
Wow. Lots of hate on the Left too.
But I don't plan on advertising where I am from. If anyone asks, I may just say Vancouver.
They can decide if it's USA or Canada.
When conservatives do not agree with the direction Bud light was going with their advertising campaign, we just stopped buying bud light.
When a Democrats got mad at Elon Musk, who Brian and creepy Ed ass kissed, they set his vehicles on fire.
Somebody is more adult than the other one
They're the same tourists who make my eyes roll back when I am within earshot.
I like the Netherlands & Belgium because they don't immediately equate English speakers with the US & they can't tell by my accent so they treat me like I'm a Brit. 😉
I guess we can add American to that list of groups that this'll be happening for.
While you say Americans, that includes me and my ilk, but when y'all speak of tourists and employers, you speak of those rich enough to do those sorts of things. They do not represent us.
Europeons constantly forgetting how they all are doing and wanting the same politics they invented, just not turned on them, is very funny to me.
Or put on a badge with “frukkk Twimp.”
But it hasn’t turned us in to a fascist state.
The King does SFA. Your self appointed “king” on the other hand…
OTOH At least you may have a chance to put things right in 4 years.. if there’s an election. We are stuck with Brexshit.

We had brexiters, remember?
Now go praise your actual monarch you fucking posers :)
Population too, the ones that believed Boris/Farages lies and agreed to leave the EU!
Honestly do you ever have an issue knowing who is US? Each state has a unique accent, Brits are smart ass people lol!
Most Americans did not vote for, nor support, Trump.
But I get it….😔
The civilized world looking at how we let the brats get away without a lesson- are happy to dish out lessons and see America as a threat to humanity.
You may not be responsible, but your country can't be trusted anymore.
Quite what I will do if I see any MAGA hats on board I don’t know. Maybe I will throw them overboard.
Trump wouldn't be destroying America if they didn't want him to.
