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.

As someone that keeps a toe in right wing spaces, you should understand the blatant information war and psyop that had been going on over the course of (at least) 2020-2024.
On the right they had constant news stories about Joe Biden. He was a lackluster president and a bootlicker but on the right, he was the devil. Pure corruption. He and his son in league with china. "Let's go brandon" didnt come out of no where. The right motivated their base to vote with hate. They HATED Biden.
Meanwhile, on the left, we had that lackluster president. He tried to do good work (I guess) but it was all establishment work. Even what he pulled off got shot down by the Supreme Court which fucked his policies and the country left and right. Then, when Isreal/Palestine became main stream news his entire voter base got educated on complex middle eastern topics and they didnt want to vote in support of Isreal. It really didnt help that they forced Harris to be the ticket. You would think, that given how Hilary turned out they would have learned, but the democrats dont want socialist policies. They want to pretend to be "for the people." while changing nothing. Thats why they rallied around issues that effect less than 3% of the ENTIRE (not just kids) population of the country.
So what I'm saying is, the right got motivated to vote in 2024 because of constant propaganda, news, and general hate engines of bot nets...and then left fell into voter apathy.
I dont know if there's one simple group to blame. It was multiple groups. Multiple factors. All failing. To bring us here. 2024 felt like the setting sun of freedom. I cant explain it. I just had the vibe that whole summer that it was never going to be this 'loud.' It felt like the last moments of decency.
Even still.
Harris STILL got the popular vote. Even with all that. But our systems are fucked and our voters heads are fucked with, so I dont know, maybe it was inevitable. Im tired and just watching the fire burn at this point. Can't outrun it. Can't stop it.
You can stop it…60% of the people in urban areas completely shutting down peacefully will have it sorted in a month.
Pick your hardship ay, it scales upwards from voting attendance being the easiest. Peaceful shutdown is better than trying a civil war on.
Absolutely agree. Unfortunately, I believe the population as a whole has become so complacent that the resistance has been pounded out of them by their screens and mod cons. E.g. People all over the internet complain about cars/appliances with subscriptions, and the loss of CDs/DVDs. But people must be buying them, ‘cause they’re not going away. WHY don’t people just stop buying them?? If everyone JUST STOPPED BUYING THEM, they would go away.
That’s why I’m reluctant to let go of my old Corolla
I’d love an EV, but I don’t want a subscription based, fully tracked car
I’m driving a 1999 Rav4. Love it!!!
I saw one the other day, 2001, only had…wait for it…213k on it, for just over 2k and fuck I wish I’d have had the cash lying around ay
Manual too, with roadworthy and registered till September
Bargain it was
