Only 30% of Americans have Passports

What does that mean?

It could mean 70% of the people either don't have the money or time or interest in traveling abroad.

They don't want to spend their money traveling outside of the country.

They are afraid of traveling to other countries.

They are very ethnocentric and close minded.

It could be all these things and more.

Also, it also explains on many different levels the popularity of Trump because he sounds like the average person in the U.S. drunk in a bar with no filters at all. And when people are drunk they tend not to be politically correct either.

So, when the average person who hasn't been to college or traveled the world but has been to bars or Pubs in the U.S.  hears Trump it is a  very familiar angry drunk voice they are used to hearing of people complaining about what's wrong with the world. It is the voice of a very white angry drunk older person who has never been to college or lived around other cultures much unless it was here in the U.S. in one of the subcultures here.

Where can you go without a Passport?

The lower 48 states, Hawaii and Alaska, Puerto Rico and possibly other islands that are American Territories and Washington DC

You used to be able to go to Mexico and Canada too but I think that has changed now to where you have to have a Passport for that now.
