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.

The main use case for silencers is hearing protection.

¹ And not from ammosexual sources like the NRA.

What other purpose would it serve? It's not like the movies where it just goes pew. It's still loud. It just means that while hunting or at the range you don't need ear plugs. It's very practical on a nightstand gun since a gun fired indoors at night is basically a flashbang. The silencer quiets it and prevents the bright flash so you aren't as disoriented.

And I would never cite the NRA. They are pretty openly fascistic and white supremacist.
