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.

And they shouldn't.
They make a lot of fucking cool guns though. But the Belgians are no slouches either.
The other four need to wake up.
The other 4 never trusted them to begin with
Or they are Maple Maga. We're not out of the woods yet, we have our own Nazi scum to purge and lance from the boil that bigotry and conservatives have become on our society.
Trust them to do what exactly? Were y'all asleep during covid? You can't trust humans to put a mask on during a pandemic. But I don't go into every interaction assuming the worst of the other person. Now if we're talking about the American government? Yeah that's a valid sentiment.
Trust them to have basic human decency, trust them to not invade Canada, trust them to rigorously oppose a criminal regime?
As George Carlin said: "Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders."

Or any time during NAFTA.
Too many lemmy conservatives left onguardforthee now it’s full of pro US posters.
6/10 Americans won't trust America again also.
Came here to say this. The last decade has truly flipped my perception of the rest of america on its head. Well, my perception of conservatives, at least. I always knew that people are people and there's a spectrum of good to bad. I've come to realize that Republicans literally do not care about trying to help anyone else unless they see some sort of personal return of either money or power. I've seen so many people that I thought were "a good, slightly dumb person misguided by politics" fully throw themselves behind Trump. Everything that they say they believe in is apparently a lie, since they so readily line up to worship a person so antithetical to what they pretend to believe. I can not and do not trust anyone that identifies with Republicans or even conservatism at this point.
It is time for a US and Canadian citizenship exchange program. There are plenty of US citizens that would enjoy life in Canada and the racist neo-Nazi Canadians would relish life in a deregulated red run Oblast.

...you do know who defeated the Nazis, right? Like in history books for real, not video games. Like, how did that world salad make any sense to you?

I don't blame y'all
that's completely fair
for all the terrible things both political parties wrought globally from the end of WWII until a Jan 20, 2017, they were united (more or less) in a commitment to being a rules and laws based main even if it hurt "their side" from time to time.
Even Reagan's "11th Amendment" would be set aside from time to time to preserve America's standing in the world.
Not so any more. And i don't actually know if it's possible to get that reputation back.
You figure? You figure people who elect a psychopath who threatens to destroy my country economically before annexing it as the fifty-first state may have lost a lot of trust?
That's just crazy talk!
