American chiming in: good. It’s only fair, if we want to charge you, you should be allowed to charge us.
If no other country will let us in (except maybe refugee status if it gets to that point I suppose), then MAYBE, just MAYBE, people will begin to make forceful demands of the government and actually change things instead of checks notes blaming “trans antifa blm terrorists” for everything and ultimately saying “there’s nothing we can do”.
Remember kids: the people outnumber the government, all we have to do is literally nothing and we could cripple it entirely.
