Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

European fllet and personal buyers are starting to turn away from US cars. Not impressively, but a little.
A rock slide starts with just but a pebble.
Europeans are purchasing American cars? Why? We aren’t even purchasing American cars in the US.
Because maga stupidity is spreading. Here's a big fuckin stupid American truck in Norway, it can barely fit down the fuckin roads in Lofoten but sure enough, dipshits need to stroke their ego with their oversized gender affirming trucks.
When you have a small pp you have to find ways to compensate.
It's just muscle cars and trucks. We don't get any American "cars" for sale here anymore. Though I'm not sure if any American companies still make cars anyway. What I mean is we don't really get the small or medium sized crossovers other than some Jeep models, we only get the really big ones (Escalade, pick up trucks, usually imported by low-volume specialty dealers), or muscle cars. Because for the boring crap we have better options available locally and it's not like the US makes any non-boring vehicles of normal size anymore.
As for why... Yeah, other than some enthusiasts who just like American cars and therefore get a Mustang or Hellcat, it's mostly just assholes with pick up trucks who want to be seen and heard.
I have seen one or two gigantic American pick up trucks used for actual work, but that's about it. Normally the beds are empty and they're driving on paved roads.
Oh yeah and Tesla has been the exception to the rule for quite a while (non-huge American vehicles actually being bought here), but nowadays I'm not sure what their sales are like. I for one have lost any remaining interest in them and I was already considering German EVs to be a better deal 5 or 6 years ago, now there's the Chinese and Sinoswedish options to consider as well.
