Anti-MAGA tourist options?
Hello,
I'm from Canada and I'm coming to visit my sibling attending UCLA, they have an art show. Trump just imposed tariffs on us and now everyone is boycotting the US. I want to show solidarity but also keep supporting my sibling and those in your state who actively tried to prevent all this from happening. What are some businesses (particularly restaurants) that I should support when I'm there or alternatively where should I stay away (ie. Openly pro-MAGA/fascist/transphobic/racist)? It is a bonus if you know the owners for example and can attest to their political views.
**edit: things I like to do generally - visit hidden gems, buy local made items, bookstores, secondhand. I loveee cafés 🥰
**Edit 2: I'm staying near Griffiths Observatory
**Edit 3: I also made these plans prior to the tariff mess and my bookings are non refundable 🥲 I did consider not going at all but I do feel bad for those who tried to prevent this and I want to support them too and my sibling
**Edit 4: I saw the other post with 800 comments that got removed and mods are understandably monitoring that thread closely. People can always DM me the names of places too. I'm not trying to start witch hunting, and certainly not for businesses who are being targeted for rumors only.
**Edit 5: the other post wasn't removed by mods FYI!! Thank you mods 😭
If you are MAGA and reading this, I'm glad you're happy with everything going on but please don't comment about the tariffs or politics generally. I am just looking for suggestions. I can use my lousy CDN dollar however I like. 🥲
