I hope you don’t get me wrong. Ten years ago I might have thought about that. But in the meantime, the USA have removed themselves from the list of countries I want to visit for the foreseeable future and probably beyond. And even 10 years ago, I wasn’t really eager to visit.
I understand why you’re saying it. There isn’t really a place that’s representative of the US as a whole, and NJ certainly doesn’t represent the qualities that you’re presumably trying to avoid. But the internet paints this picture that definitely looks bleak, so I can appreciate your sentiment.
It’s not that I fear for myself. I am aware that I, as a white German dude, will probably be fine in the US. It’s more of a statement I want to express. You, the US of A, won’t see a cent from me as long as I can prevent it. I’ve cancelled my subscriptions. If it’s made in the USA it’s not made for me, etc. And I’m making sure my government knows what I think about playing nice with the beast.
I know there are great people in the USA and I’m sure you are one of them. But your country turned to shit.
Hey, you won’t find me disagreeing. I try to stay local, small businesses, all of that. It has been a disappointing decade for sure, but I’m not going to lose hope.

All the best to you and the other people that don’t agree with the government. Let’s hope it’ll get better soon.
