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.

I'll rephrase it for you: You get what you don't resist. Also known as: History is made by the people who show up. The crux of the issue is that when it mattered, most people in America didn't show up (and no, I'm not talking about election day). Americans collectively share responsibility for not showing up, and nothing is going to change until they decide to show up. It's that simple.
Arguably, the systems that have lobotomized the US were set up by people who are so old they're becoming president or dead. Lots of money is spent to make it hard to even see what is going on, let alone how to do something about it.
