I was just in Canada and we tried to go incognito as much as possible. But I did get into one Uber where the driver asked me if I voted for Trump. I told him I did and he seemed flabbergasted. But to his credit he kept it together! |
I'm flabbergasted too |
Just don't do that. Why would you be controversial with a total stranger while confined in their car? |
Many countries have such restrictions. https://www.fodors.com/news/travel-tips/can-you-travel-with-a-dui-understanding-dui-travel-restrictions-and-rules I hate that we will make exceptions, for a price. Almighty dollar over all else. 😩 |
Just back from CA. No real issues, but seems like everyone I spoke to was very educated about what was going on, far more than here. Also sad and offended, which is about how I feel. |
We’re planning a driving trip this summer and I’m little worried about reentry just from some things we’ve heard. Our family consists of two white moms and our African-American college student daughter—all US citizens. Am I being paranoid to be worried? Thanks for sharing your thoughts/recent experiences. (Please be kind.) |
Which state are re-entering? It shouldn't matter but certain states seem to be problematic |
Even MAGAs like to travel. |
I'll be overtipping when we visit with my Biden/Harris hat. |
I’m not sure how to put this without sounding rude, but, two white moms and an African American daughter might stand out, so you might want to have documents with you beyond just your passports.
|
I think this is ok. If it was 2 AA parents (any sex) with a white child, I'd be concerned. |
College aged daughter? I think she'll be ok. |
Me three. |
How do they maintain their ignorance then? Must be tough. |
They may casually chat your daughter up, but you might catch what they are gently checking for is human trafficking. We just noticed this in the past few years. My husband and I are Caucasian with different last names and passport from different countries. My daughter has a different last name from both of us and is not Caucasian. For around 10 years we crossed the Canada/US border without anyone blinking an eye or questioning. |
