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.

Interesting report from the world of diplomacy and military alliance.

The headline quotation is a direct quotation of a non-American senior official to the Americans at the meeting.

80 years of effort to build up a world of shared values burned in under a year. 80 years of soft power tossed in the compost pile and recycled into fertilizer. 80 years of blood, sweat, and tears as Americans laboured to make the world safe for America.

All gone in the tantrums of a decrepit toddler.

Indeed, USA: We genuinely will never fucking trust you again.

As an American, this is totally understandable. There are many here who have similar feelings of betrayal.

Sorry guys. I think this is the series finale.

I think the world could excuse the US for the first Trump infection. There are a lot of flukes that happened that ended up in Trump's favour, plus the years of the right villainizing Clinton, a gaggle of stupid boomers being fed Russian Facebook memes. It was a perfect storm of shit.

Putting him in place a second time is inexcusable.

I was mad the first time. This time I'm finding myself cheering louder when I hear about something going wrong in the states.

I know this was the Russian plan - to bring the US down from the inside. I know Russia wants to see a US civil war. But I think they underestimated how long that would take and how the rest of the world is getting really sick of the US's shit.

Take Canada. The US has been attacking it and trying to hurt it but we're coming out looking like the good guys and we're making other great deals left and right. It's a few roadbumps instead of a sink hole.

I'm looking forward to watching the US slowly crumble.

I just don't want my kids dying in a war.

Not sure what the odds on that are looking like right now.

I'm sure Kalshi can help with that.

This fn timeline. Ugh...

After the final game, where does the home team go? And do the visitors -the opposition- just stay in town?

I think after the last episode, the stars get to make appearances at comi-con, but all the other actors just move to other shows.
