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'm surprised it's only 33%. Even ignoring the 51st state threats of annexation, ICE is arbitrarily holding Canadians in inhumane conditions with absolutely no due process or judicial oversight. People in ICE detention centres, right now, are being given aluminum foil for blankets to sleep on concrete floors, while being given literally moldy food. A (Caucasian) Canadian died in ICE detention already this year, likely from being denied access to essential medications (anti-seizure meds, iirc?)
Who the hell are the 67% that are still continuing to travel to the US? Are they clueless, or do they assume they'll be fine since they're white?
Too many people are engaging in high amounts of apathy.
could be people who made vacation plans in year/years in advance, are only just the last leg of vacations until they disappear, we probably wont see the effects, til maybe december from the usa side.
So many people think they are an exception and that they are one of the "good ones" who won't have an issue.
In May 60-some% of these trips were day trips. so they aren't there for long.
There are dual citizens (using passport of the respective country to enter), residents of border towns with NEXUS cards (or cross so often they are recognizable to officers) that commute, use services or attend events across the border, which probably makes up a significant chunk of the remaining trips.
