Yep...just stay away from democrat run cities...LA, SF, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, St Louis, etc...
@BizSuitStacy You forgot the city that never sleeps. 🤣
@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays How could I forget to mention NYC? Or DC, Newark, Miami, New Orleans...
@BizSuitStacy NYC's current mayor should be behind bars even as we speak.

It's not a simple answer. Every places has good spots and bad spots. In addition to how you travel. But with the current state of affairs as it is, I wouldn't recommend a visit as highly right now as I would have.

I would be very careful if visiting a major city. I don't think any major city is safe.

@4meAndyou

Yep, anywhere on earth.

It's been that way for a long time. Just watch the looting and the torching of autos and buildings that so many big cities experience, seemingly every few months.

50+ years ago I spent a few months in Saigon, in the middle of a war. A few months later in NYC, and I felt safer in Saigon than I did in NYC.

@4meAndyou Used to be safe here all over my city of 130,000 or so. There was nowhere I would have been afraid of to walk around alone. Not anymore .Another woman got her face slashed while waiting at a bus stop here a few weeks ago.

I'm not so sure any more

Especially now that you have to declare all social media for entry into the country and make everything public so that everything can be checked for controversial posts and likes.

Not sure I want to share all SW stuff with border patrol
@Tracos
That's what fascist governments do to keep control of their citizens.
Tracos · 51-55, M
@swirlie in this case it would be non-citizens
@Tracos
It also applies to US citizens. ICE just locked up a former US Marine at the border after he re-entered the US after being away on vacation.
I would stay clear of the place another 4 years, then we see what happens. Not safe at the moment no.
Anniedlr · 26-30, F
I don’t know but after the poor reception I received from the Border Staff last time I visited I have no intention of ever returning to the country to find out.
@looking4thesun thank you for revealing your bias.
@LamontCranston it may be biased but we both know the truth is there
iamthe99 · M
I don't know but I'm not going back there, even though i used to live there (I'm part American)
Caz82 · 41-45, F
@iamthe99 Dont you have personal and/or business relationships that would take you back there?
iamthe99 · M
@Caz82 well my company does a lot of work over there, but it’s not my area. Otherwise, barring weddings or funerals there will be nothing that will make me go back. I no longer consider the US my home

Yes, definitely.
The people are welcoming. The government, not so much.
I wouldn’t do it.
pdockal · 56-60, M
@nonsensiclesnail

Since when is the government against visitors ?????
@pdockal another one hiding under the rocks

@lostlissa
No I don't read it, I just watch American life play out every night on TV.
lostlissa · 36-40, F
@swirlie 😂😂😂.

Violent crime is rare for affecting tourists in popular vacation areas. It's more prevalent in poverty areas.
@lostlissa
Apparently violent crime is very prevalent against grade one students at schools across America where ex-Marines tend to go to take out their frustrations in life using an AR-15. But of course, you probably don't call any of that "violent crime", do you!
Pretzel · 70-79, M
I was born here - that's why I'm here
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
For the most part, yes.
if you stay out if the big city's, stay off the interstate HI ways
Generally, yes. Stay in nicer areas, have all your travel docs in order and obey the laws while you are visiting.
JackHoff · 46-50, M
Yes, it is still safe.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
For most of the people, most of the time, pretty much.
pdockal · 56-60, M
Like any other civilized country it all depends where you visit & why you visit
if you "fit in"
sure
but waatch your mouth!
badminton · 61-69, MVIP
Some places are OK, others are less than safe.
If safety means getting shot, risk being deported for having a meme on your phone or riots in LA, it’s quite safe
When was it ever safe
Iwillwait · M
Of course. Just come here during the daytime .
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Iwillwait And have someone guide you to as which areas to avoid
ShenaniganFoodie · 36-40, M
I'd love to think so but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I will not be visiting again anytime soon
Depends on what the current travel advisories where you live say???
Just stay out of Bed-Stuy.
hunkalove · 70-79, M
When was it ever safe? Maybe in a small town.
Musicman · 61-69, M
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
Not even remotely.
Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M
I certainly wouldn’t visit with the clows 🤡running it!
Dangerous

You'll never leave alive.
@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays This is irresponsible. Frankly, you should be ashamed to post something so groudless.

No, it’s a fascist authoritarian state. We have roving good squads kidnapping people who are never seen again.
zonavar68 · 56-60, M
Until Trump and his insular regime are removed - no.
@Selah She turned away millions! (Voters, that is.)
No, not safe at all. Very dangerous country to visit right now and probably for the next 5 years at least.
