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.

This is all directly out of the Nazi playbook in the 30s. They didn't start out gassing Jews. They started locking up the mentally ill, disabled people, political opponents, "undesirables" like the LGBTQ community, outsiders like the Roma.
Murdering people was their final solution for what to do with all those prisoners. They started with concentration camps like the one they built in Florida.
They would never need the enormous ICE budget if they were only coming for illegal immigrants (and now homeless people).
Americans HAVE to get off their asses and stop this. Trump and his goons WILL expand the groups they're going after. This WILL get worse. Stop it now.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, that's why everybody needs to start fucking listening to what the historians are telling you all.
Here’s a great read from one of my favourite politicians on this:

Even my conservative dad loves Charlie Angus.
Wow. Thanks. This is something I have been very curious about. Even before trump I often wondered how it happened in germany and unfortunately Im getting a first hand view. There has always been the like hitler thing and people looking at it as an exaggerated example but its amazing how if anything he makes nazi germany look better:
Like the Trump regime, the Dachau concentration camp was established in the first months of Nazi rule. But unlike Trump, the Nazis were careful to downplay the barbaric cruelty of the newly-built camp. They presented propaganda photos to show “the truth about Dachau” as if it were a “model” prison for rehabilitation.
Trump’s supporters on the other hand are gloating over the fact that this is no normal prison. It is a series of cages in the swamps of the Florida Everglades. And MAGA is celebrating a camp built for the express purpose of dehumanizing and brutalizing the people brought there.
How long, I wonder, until the MAGAts themselves end up in the prison they are cheering for?
