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.

Correct. Which one grew to the size and power level of the US and managed to maintain that same level of democracy? Or any kind of remotely similar type of scale?
Like I say, it's more easy at a small ("small") scale of an individual country. It's not easy, but it's not the same. Now that the EU is growing to the same kind of unified power structure in early stages, they're talking about chat control, they're denying visas to doctors who want to talk about what happened in Palestine, they're doing all these pre-fascist things, because that's what large powerful states start to do, and I fully expect that they will go in the exact same direction as The Great Satan unless they take some lessons from our 20th-century history and hopefully try to build on them and get closer to something decent. That's my point.
I feel like you must have stopped reading before my last paragraph, if you feel the need to lecture me on this. I live here. I'm well aware.
