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 boycott should be in multiple fronts: don't go there watch it, discourage your country's team from playing there, discourage people from even watching the games from afar, call out businesses sponsoring the games... and more importantly, call out anyone planning to do those things as a sponsor of fascism. Because guess what, that's exactly what they are.
In special, sponsors are damn easy to attack with viral propaganda. A 5min shit-edit where the brand in question supports Nazi Germany and/or Hitler is enough, as long as shared by lots of people; businesses hate this sort of association.
I will do my part from America and not watch. When is it?
First match is 11th of June, the final is the 19th of July.
