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.

Matt is right, but it's awfully convenient to say it now and not when his show was popularising Fox on it's rise to dominance, despite being a fascist shitbag TV network. 30 years too late Matt.
Fox and Fox News are different channels. Also, the former is owned by Disney now.
What you say is both true, and completely irrelevant and misleading. The Simpsons' heydays were during Fox's meteoric rise to pre-eminence and at the time Fox News not only supplied Fox with their newsroom coverage they were owned by the same parent at the time. Being owned by Disney now is immaterial to my previous comment.
From wikipedia
Fox went on to become the most successful attempt at a fourth television network; it was also the highest-rated free-to-air network in the 18–49 demographic from 2004 to 2012 and 2020 to 2021 and was the most-watched American television network in total viewership during the 2007–08 season.[3][4] It is a member of the North American Broadcasters Association and the National Association of Broadcasters. Fox does not have network newscasts of its own due to its lack of a news division, and instead relies on the 24-hour Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network to supply news programming to the network.
And regarding Fox News
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News
The Fox News Channel (FNC), commonly known as Fox News, is an American multinational conservative news and political commentary television channel and website based in New York City, U.S.[3][4] It is owned by Fox News Media, which itself is owned by Fox Corporation.[5] It is the most-watched cable news network in the U.S.,[6][7] and as of 2023 it generates approximately 70% of its parent company's pre-tax profit.
