They don't even get what the issue is apparently.
We're being warned to leave our phones at home when crossing the border. People are being detained for weeks for visa issues. Our government has issued a travel advisory about how US border guards are screening travellers.
This isn't just "oh, we're upset you hosers are calling us the 51st state, eh."
This is genuine fear of what might happen if we go to your country. A friend of mine was almost in tears because she had non-refundable tickets to go to the states to see a friend and was worried about crossing the border.
Sorry, but it's going to take more than, "please come visit because we like you, really."
They don't like you, they like your money.
Those of us who really do like you understand why you don't want to come now. Because even if you are visiting a blue state you still might encounter Trump's thugs at the border. Or ICE could get shooed away from a LAUSD elementary school and decide to randomly grab you off the street outside. You stay out and stay safe, spend your money locally.
