You can count me among the Americans who self-deported during the first Trump administration. People thought I was over-exaggerating back then. Now people are asking me for guidance on how they can do the same. open.substack.com/pub/ifloz/p/...

Do Americans really not understand why Europeans, of all people, are being advised, by their own governments, not to travel to the US? Never mind, I don't want people to think I'm exaggerating again. Like I was exaggerating by leaving the US myself before the last two elections.
