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.

hah starting? newsflash America, we haven't been your biggest fan for quite a while.
Yeah but now DJT has given your governments the impetus to finally begin casting us aside, that's the difference...
And more power to them, I'm deeply ashamed by this nonsense. Granted I have seen the writing on the walls for at least the 20 years I've been voting age, and almost every single person Ive ever known has been saying "your just being alarmist, something something bootstraps" when I explain what I see. It is only shocking to see how much it has accelerated in such a short time window. Capitalism has gone from a predator praying on a healthy populous, do a carrion eater picking through our remains for the last loose change we have, and meanwhile there is a group of people that know our country has almost nothing left to steal trying to push towards authoritarianism since they know a collapse is immanent.
As long as we fuck over illegals though, that'll fix everything, don't mind the billionaires rifling through your pockets since the 60's.
I wish i could just live in blissful ignorance, totally happy about current events and not knowing i was helping to destroy my country. Lucky fucking idiots.
That is, indeed, the key difference.
The populace of most nations the world over has hated the USA and USAnals for decades now. (Hell, Germans hated the USA back in the '80s when I lived there!) But the governments of most nations were always eager to fellate whoever was in the White House for that entire time, with only rare exceptions here and there.
Now the governments are aligning with the views their people held for decades. That is a major change and will not go well for the USA.
