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.

Those that make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable. ~JFK

This is starting to sound like a hostile takeover of the US.

Never in my life did I imagine I would see the US military used to fight american citizens, yet here we are.

Starting to? What about Jan 6

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

January 6 was a bunch of chucklefucks who got close because it was unexpected and capitol police showed immense restraint.

This is the fucking military my dude

[–] alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are you saying the us military isn't a bunch of chucklefucks?

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Only about 50% according to polls.

It should be obvious to everyone at this point, that this has nothing to do with crime.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I respectfully disagree. These actions are very much criminal. The Trump administration, ICE, congress and the supreme court must be held to account for their crimes against the constitution, and the people.

You have mentioned all three branches of the federal government. How, I must rhetorically ask, can the entire federal government be held to account without their cooperation?

[–] jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

Gee.
Understand that history is full of examples.
Ill start with the most obvious.
Like the French revolution.
Luckily the mechanisms are fairly easy.
One simply needs to look.
Times will be difficult.
Its usually painful for everyone.
Never the less, it must be done.
Else worse things happen.
So I implore you, off with their heads.

History is full of examples, for better and for worse.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You might wat to consult the constitution and it's ammendments for a few ideas.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Except that the federal government enforces and interprets the Constitution, so relying on it to resolve problems with that very government verges on Kafkaesque.

What alternative are you proposing? Giving up?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Baltimore. The city that riots every chance they get and have done so since at least the war of 1812. That Baltimore?

If our military leaders go for this, the armed forces are now my enemy. Trump had 30-days of wiggle room to do this in DC. I am unaware of any other authority he has to expand.
