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.

That is because we actually can't.

The US has been a shit show since the end of WWII and they've fucked over countless countries and people, mostly for greed. It's laws are mostly setup first for greed, then for humans. Don't trust that place, whatever president comes next will at best only be marginally better than the current shit stain

This is so heartbreaking. I live on the border, frequently visit Ontario and Quebec, even honeymooned in the Maritimes. It's hard to imagine that I may never be able to do that ever again, but here we are.

I recall how bad I felt waking up in November 2024 knowing that awful things were going to happen, but alienating our closest ally was not one of them. Stay safe, Canada, I hope to see you again some time.

Canadian here close to the border. I used to visit your country somewhat regularly, but I don’t think I’ll ever go down south again. My wife has some extended family in the states and they’ll never visit up here so I guess we just aren’t seeing them ever again. It’s unfortunate but that’s what video calls are for I guess.

As a Canadian, I say come visit still. We’d love to have you as long as you’re respectful and don’t bring pro-Trump speech with you (and given you’re on Lemmy I’m sure you’re the kind of person we’d welcome with open arms up here).

"I hope to see you again some time." Honestly, I hope so to.

No one is against Americans vacationing in Canada. Many of us chose not to go down because of this stupid economic warfare the administration started. But that’s just business, as they say. It’s about asserting economic independence. Come visit. No worries, buddy.

Seconded. Just make sure your American papers are in order for when you return.

Lol. Canada was one of the only countries that used to trust America. No one wants to play with the bully

Plate carriers and high caliber rifles are also getting sold out everywhere.

4 in 10 thinks we can fix it at some point.

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

If the USA gets their act together and can show that they can elect sane politicians 12+ years after trump/vance term ends.

That's my hope.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Their system prevents them from electing sane politicians.

12+ years total of sane politicians or in a row? Because I'm sure we can get a nonfascist in eventually, but 12+ years in a row of politicians who are merely sane is a big ask pretty much everywhere

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

When you compare to the fascist felon there's a wide margin for sanity.

4 in 10 already distrusted the US.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tfw dual citizenship and can't trust myself 😬

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Get them! They're a double citizen!

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What are you, the Trump Administration?

op's excess citizenship must be studied so it can be properly harnessed and potentially extracted for our benefit. It's in the 10th amendment

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 25 points 3 days ago

I don't even like the idea of flying over the USA to go on vacation to Mexico. We might just save up and go to a hot part of Europe instead, it's just a lot more flying.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 21 points 3 days ago

Fair enough. We did a lot these last nine months to piss of the rest of the world.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 days ago

2 of them are lying, because they do not have the money to go down there anyways. 1 of them has to go down for work and the other is Danielle Smith.

[–] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 14 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I don't blame the Canadians.

The other four trust them exactly as much as we trusted them before, which is zero.
