I feel sorry for people who spent thousands on World Cup tickets only to have their visas revoked, but a lot of us have been saying for a long time not to come here.

You're right. I guess I was thinking back to that fediverse account that tried to argue with me that there was no way the two white Danish women had thought they could rely on white privilege because they probably didn't even think of themselves as "white".
@Mab_813 @disorderlyf Yeah, part of privilege is not having to be aware that you have it, so in that sense it’s unconscious.
But I’m sure there are a lot of white people who think it’s safe for them to visit the US because they assume their skin color will protect them.

We have a fascist regime here. People are being put in camps without due process. Visitors are screened for their political views, which may be why some football fans are being turned away.
These people should consider themselves lucky they are losing only their money, and not their liberty.
@bodhipaksa I don’t feel sorry for them. They thought they would be special because they spent $? Nah, that’s all the more reason for the facist grifter to revoke their visa.
Now his buddies who own the hotel rooms they booked get to keep their money and re-rent those rooms to someone else.
