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.

40 odd years ago I wanted lots of stuff from the us. Too much to mention
30 years ago I wanted the cool tech, movies and TV shows etc, fast food etc. Video games and so on.
20 years ago all I wanted from the us was fast food and movies.
10 years ago all I wanted was one thing from the us. Movies. That's it, just one thing.
For the last 5 years it went up as I wanted two things. Movies and to hold the obese orange fuckbasket accountable for his many, many crimes.
Now today, though, I just want him to be accountable.
I don't give two shits about the shit food and the even more shitty movies or any of that useless crap, just do the fucking decent thing and make him feel the consequences of his actions. Just fucking once.
The decline of the us started decades ago. The collapse of the us started in 2016.
Fuck me, I've lived here all my life and don't want anything from here anymore. Only thing I care about here is my friends and family.
This is pretty much exactly how I feel as well, although since I live here, there is also the realities of late stage capitalism (monopolies, value engineering, shrinkflation, enshitification) affecting my consumption and attempted lack thereof.
All I really want is justice. The red hats and their idol need lasting consequences. I just wish I could see how that may happen. Impeach, arrest and convict I guess. Rico, bribery, insurrection, and probably treason if they can prove it are all there for the picking. But I don’t see congress flipping enough to accomplish any of that, and they’d also have to to impeach half the Supreme Court to make any of it stick legally.
