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.

Nixon was it. In the modern political era, everything horrible flows from the original sin of Nixon and gang not facing justice. Instead they learned the worse lessons from what happened, which led to Reagan, W, and now Trump. Or if you want to step back from the modern era and take a longer view, Trump is a direct consequence of the failure of Reconstruction to root out the power of the Confederacy.
I wonder what an alternate timeline would look like where Nixon was held responsible and went to jail.
We agree, that pardon was a clear line that we had never crossed before. Reagan had nothing to fear, and acted accordingly. As has every President since Nixon with the exception of maybe Carter. Maybe.
