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.

This is plain wrong. Nazi germany was super legalistic. It's all about having awful people in power making awful laws. A good Nazi in Hitler's Reich would be very rule abiding.
I guess it's not supposed to be an actual comparison to the third reich and more a commentary on the failure of America, but it's worth taking the lesson from history that whether something is legal or not is meaningless under authoritarianism.
Edit: also it's an interesting exercise to place stuff like slavery, Latin American coups, CIA drug experiments, rocket scientist Nazi import, and the native american genocide on this axis of denialism.
Agreed the line should read "It happened, It is now legal and standard procedure."
The Chump regime seem to be making the rules as they go.
Yeah, but they have the state apparatus by the balls, so that's legal. Hitler also came to power legally.
The legal/illegal distinction is a shit normative indicator in the best of times, and a terribly dangerous one in the worst.
