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.

I see it differently.

These type of politicians exaggerate small problems and make people think about them as much as possible so it is perceived as big problems and then they sell themselves as the solution. Immigration, fake news, presidential corruption, LGBT, DEI, and all other "problems" Trump abused to gain power, were never as bad as they made many people believe.

The system allows for this kind of mass manipulation, so it's definitely a bad system. But these politicians are as much to blame for the "problems" they force into the minds of people as the system is for allowing it.

None of those are the problems we're talking about. We're talking about checks and balances which are now exposed to be a big joke. This is like maybe the first time we caught a neighbor stealing our wifi, but we literally never had a password on it. The problem was the security of our system the whole time, not the new neighbor who moved in and stole it for the first time.
