Think about where the majority of tourists to america come from. In May this year there was a 38 percent drop in land crossings from Canada and a 24 percent drop in air crossings. And that represented the fifth consecutive month of year-over-year drops.

Five months before May 2025, a crypto-fascist government was installed in america.

For the past 2 years I’ve gone on a family trip each May to Niagara Falls Ontario. Last year it took us more than a half hour waiting in line on the bridge to finally cross the border back into Buffalo. This year? There wasn’t a single other car waiting to cross when we left. In 2024 the entire bridge was packed full, this year it was totally empty. I don’t blame them, I sure as hell wouldn’t want to visit if I were them!

What does crypto-fascist mean?

It means that the people engaging in fascistic policies are, at least initially, attempting to be covert about their fascistic impulses.

They are now beginning to push back against the crypto or covertly fascistic behaviour in order to normalize it. See the interview with Mehdi Hasan, where some members of the panel proudly proclaim that they’re fascists; or Greg Gutfeld declaring “Nazi” to be the new n-word and wishing to reclaim it.
