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.

No Kings was never intended to have any follow-through. I check the website periodically and it's almost never updated until the next big rally is coming up. No resources, no sustained effort to strengthen and entrench the resistance, just "Find a rally near you!" every 4-6 months.
I think its only purpose has been to keep liberals minimally activated to vote in the midterms, and that's it. If it were anything more than that, we'd be seeing more French-style direct action by now.

And to be honest, I think the real goal was to coopt and neutralize any leftist movements for real change that might arise in reaction to Trump. Can't have real protests demanding universal health care or free college -the Democratic donors wouldn't like that. Better to make it into a picnic and to focus on how Trump is personally a big fat meanie stupid face. Anything to keep them from questioning the broader capitalist system that both parties support.
@KentNavalesi @kent_eh Yeah. Sigh.
