I’m all for protesting the government and their actions. But I am a bit torn on this.

It’s like being a US tourist while Trump is in office and being denied everything because you are associated with you government.

I hate it too. But I am not my government.

It might suck, but yeah we kinda deserved to be excluded from the world stage for allowing trump to be president. Anyone that is willing to represent Israel/Russia/Saudi Arabia right now is kinda a piece of shit.

This implies that it is the people's fault that Trump was elected, when it's the result of a larger systemic issue.
