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.

They're just thugs with too much authority.
they are thugs expecting no resistance or consequences, if people actually fought back on the first day, things wouldve been different. we know trump loves to enact martial law, but hes going to do it sooner or later.
When DOGE was first bursting into government office buildings with no authority at all, they just let them in. If the first few DOGE Squads had been gunned down in the lobbies for trying invade a government facility, we'd be in a different place right now.
thats why they expected no resistance, from the dems, they are pretty much right. they assume it will just be a localized issue and wouldnt blossom to a country wide problem.
The Dems are obsessed with being polite to their enemies, and it has been their downfall.
no riots, meaning the oligarchs, fascist will know you wont do anything, and they just continue to mow people down. what they are really a fraid is general rioting, doesnt even need to start with 'violence", is enough disrupt businesses in the area, just things like looting, shoplifting, or vandalism is enough to scare them too.
This.
Trump's not known for his restraint. Or for thinking things through.
ICE are shooting people in the face yesterday, running people over today. Each day it gets just a little worse. The frog has well and truly boiled. He's just waiting until a little closer to the mid-terms to enact martial law, but he'll do it earlier if necessary.
There's no scenario where he doesn't. None.
People need to organize into states, states need to get their shit together and begin preparing non-violently, together, for the inevitable civil conflict. If in a world replete with reasons why and how civil wars happen against dictators the US cannot see past their own previous Civil War into why they fought it, to decide whether it was due to Civil Rights or whether it was simply to maintain the Manifest Destiny hegemony, they have already lost. Although there's too many people thinking this will blow over peacefully without any more preparation except that to believe they can return to the old oligarchy way of doing things for me to have any hope..
