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.

If the US as a whole can come around and actually begin a programme of actually caring for people over selfish profit, I can embrace them again. The scale of such a reform has to dwarf their first Reconstruction by a long shot.
Did that version of the USA ever existed?
No. The US was founded on genocide, grown through slavery, and profited off of exploiting EVERY other nation that they could for their entire history. They support dictatorships and genocide all over the world. Oligarchy and Patriarchy was baked into their Constitution (only rich white males had a say) and the Oligarchy/Patriarchy has never given up any real power since then.
tRump has ripped off the mask for the whole world to see what the real US is, and only fools will forget what they have seen. I am certain the next tyrant the US votes in will be even worse.
Exactly , it was just a rhetorical question
The New Deal could be considered one time. Regardless of whether you agree with that, is there are reason that such a version of the USA could never exist?
To me, it's the greed, wilful ignorance and arrogance I hate, not the people.
