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.

I don't. They decided to sleepwalk their way into this. I knew what was coming for the USA in a single visit to Houston in 1999. I could hear the jackboots marching in lockstep from just around the corner down the block. Americans of my acquaintance, when I expressed that nervousness, told me I was being "alarmist" … and kept telling me that as the post-9/11 phase started with the not even slightly ominous-sounding "Department of Homeland Security", the "PATRIOT Act", the explosion of racism when a black president was elected, the whole Tea Party fiasco, etc. etc. etc.
Now the same people who went for a nice stroll in their sleep are waking up to what they let grow all around them.
As an American... you're right. It's been hell living my life here in a lot of ways because the vast majority of people here are basically zombies. I'm honestly just rooting for us to fail at this point, and it's coming up rapidly. The inflation, debt, and unchecked fraud of Wall Street will get us in the end. I'd be surprised if we didn't have a fairly major economic crash within the next 10 years.
I agree. I don't either, fk you Americans.
