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.

Yup, like Mattias Desmet pointed out in his book The Psychology of Totalitarianism, unchallenged, it gets worse and worse. So challenge it at every opportunity. Talk to them. Let them see other perspectives. It'll plant seeds that eventually short circuit the totalitarianised psyche, and they'll no longer be able to carry on seeing any and all atrocities as necessary virtues.
i think we are long past talking
so what do you propose can help mend this situation?
obviously not do nothing.
meet force with force? no, that wont likely work either, since that's either thwarted easily or creates enough irritation to them to double down all the worse into totalitarian insanity. ... which they even welcome, and seek to provoke, to give them more excuse to be worse, painting the effort as a "problem" to which they can evoke the "reaction" clamouring all the more for their "solution"
so if not planting seeds of better wisdom, and helping them get out of totalitarianised psyche,
what's your proposal?
