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.

Our media has been pitting us against each other for decades. Conservatives think leftists are evil because of all the gay sex; leftists think conservatives are evil because of book banning. And they all think the ones who say they “aren’t political” are uninformed and ignorant. Obviously more examples than that but you get the gist. It’s become extremely tribal, so it’s not shocking to me at all.
I agree with much of what you have said however reducing why leftists dislike conservatives to book banning is disingenuous. They are forcing religious doctrines on everyone, starting wars with no rationale, removing reproductive and voting rights, the list goes on… The example of book banning is such a limited example of damage compared to high level relevant examples that it does not feel representative.
