if you’re not coming
to come here, tell – then nothing
to worry about
Adapted from the article, Why a holiday in the US is out of the question by Zoe Williams, where Ms. Williams quotes secretary of state, marco rubio, saying to folks thinking of traveling to the United States when she writes:
Marco Rubio has reassured the world that: “If you’re not coming to the United States to join a Hamas protest, or to come here and tell us about how right Hamas is, or … stir up conflict on our campuses and create riots in our streets and vandalise our universities, then you have nothing to worry about.
Ms. Williams then asks, “How authoritarian must a country become before it’s morally unacceptable to go there for leisure purposes?”
The question reminds me of the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin hosted by Nazi Germany.
Then I realize …
Ms. Williams is talking about the United States of America in 2025.
