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.

This is actually an ongoing process starting with the Vietnam War and the war on terror.
I'm only barely old enough to remember how, in the 90's in Europe, everything that came from the US was cool and everything local was lame and embarassing. People older than me probably remember it being even more so before.
Nowadays that's only true for movies. I genuinely think that the US's imperialistic behavior has spoiled the goodwill earned from WWII, in combination with the internet shattering the monoculture that the US used to dominate.
Depending on where in the world it's still mostly true for shows and music as well. Although they've been losing their near-monopoly, just look at how popular Korean entertainment is now compared to even a decade ago.
