        It’s constitutional. Read the 13th amendment. Abolished slavery, except if you’re incarcerated.

        America has always been a racist, fascist dictatorship state. It’s just allowed to finally show its true colours.

        It’s an unsafe place to be. As a Canadian I will no longer ever set foot in the country as I don’t feel safe for myself or family.

        Other countries are warning about avoiding travel to the US. I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment.

        I said months ago there won’t be an America by the time Trumps done. I still stand by that statement.

        America is fucked short term and will be destroyed long term, most likely from eating itself.
