Oh no, are profits in danger? Finally something the DNC can actually be bothered to care about.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Anti-american sentiment is largely justified. There's concentration camps and masked men kidnapping people off the street. People are proudly wearing the maga-hat symbols of trumpism.
i'm joining the war on rising anti-american sentiment on the side of rising anti-american sentiment
I hope all these fuckers running the companies get the day they voted for.
The absolute worst day.
As an American, good. We have too many chuckle-fucks here who live in their own bubbles, thinking America can do whatever the fuck it wants without consequence, like we're not all a part of the same global stage. We deserve every ounce of criticism we're getting.
I've been in Scandinavia since early July and yeah, being American is basically a joke. If you can sit down and have a real chat, they know very well that our politics don't represent us but quick face to face? Couldn't give a single fuck about us.
I'm becoming anti-American, and I'm American. I totally understand why the rest of the world hates us. I don't blame them at all.
The authors are conflating two issues. They mention the reduced tourism, but that is not about being anti-American. People are reasonably scared of getting locked up; why would anyone risk visiting the U.S. if they had another decent option (like, for example, any country that isn't at war right now)? ... And this is a totally different issue from boycotting American manufacturers. It's about personal safety.
At the same time, the anti-American sentiment goes hand-in-hand with tariffs. If the U.S. charges tariffs on the EU, for example, people who work sales in the EU will be hurt by the loss of customers. And then when the EU issues counter-tariffs, US goods become too expensive to buy... And this is all about basic economics, not about feelings.
And then, finally, there are feelings. Many people think that Trump (who is in the Epstein Files) is an evil POS. And most large American corporations supported his rise to power and are currently licking his boots. Supporting that evil man is itself an evil act, many people would say.
Anyway, these are three different overlapping issues, and Newsweek should have good enough writers to describe the situation with greater precision. But if you bring in the non-emotional arguments, that makes the U.S. companies look like big jerks, right, so of course the magazine couldn't be bothered with that kind of analysis. Better to describe the broader international community as moody or some shit like that. Meh.
Very good points. Remember that Newsweek is a jerk US company that supported Trump and is currently licking his boots. Corporate media has very skilled writers who are doing everything they can to normalize what is going on now.
Gee I wonder where that could've stemmed from?
I'm american and am so fucking ashamed of this place right now. Hoping for aliens to come down --since they always land in the US-- and just start blasting...
If I was an alien I would stay the fuck out of America, lol.
This country sucks. Hopefully it splits up soon.
This is proof that individuals do have power. Together we have a voice. Keep speaking.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
These stupid cunts didn't realize he was unpopular when they were doing photo ops during the campaign? Let them suffer.
Leopards ate my face!
Oh no, anyway...
Sucks to be a company who supported Trump and the GOP.
Keep up the boycott. Make those scumbags pay.
Sucks to suck.
They spent billions of dollars and decades avoiding competition at all costs.
We can't have good cars or phones or anything really. All our appliances are designed to break so you have to buy another. Planned obsolescence. Enshitification.
Whenever I have a choice I avoid US products and I'm American. Because the products are either designed to fail or just worse. And for a higher price.
"made in USA" is a warning label
As an American I say fuck'em. I have hated on America since Reagan.
....how long until mcdonalds expand their business into the prison food racket??
'Fighting in the canteen?! That's a week in the McHole for you!'
And it's working! It's so funny to see companies like McDonalds advertise with: "Your burger is produced in Europe" or the like. At least they seem to acknowledge that they are biting off one of the hands that feed them, good.
As an American I hate us more and more each year.
good. that's patriotism right there
Any good American should despise what America represents right now.
The founding fathers certainly would.
the founding fathers would probably have a heart attack seeing that women and black people have some rights
Some would. But many were progressive even then. They recognized the dangers of slavery, but felt that the southern states joining war against the north was unwinnable. So they pushed the problem off for another generation to handle.
George Washington was extremely respectful of women. He held his wife's opinion in high regard, and one of his closest personal advisors was a a lifelong female friend. I don't think he would have minded the idea of women voting.
Good. If anti american sentiment can put a dent in these corp business structures, all I see are two moral goods.
We deserve it
I mean shit as an American I have a rising anti american sentiment lol
