The U.S. has a long history of troop deployments against protest movements, from the U.S.’s crackdown on the civil rights movement to the infamous shooting and killing of anti-war protesters at Kent State.
However, while the National Guard has been deployed against U.S. activists numerous times throughout history, historians say that the deployment of active duty Marines against Americans is unprecedented, and an escalation of anti-protest tactics at a time when Trump is grasping at every opportunity to seize power, suppress dissent and push the U.S. toward martial law.

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.
