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.

Call me Daddy first
lol, it's so good. I took a shot at Trump's tariffs and how he's driving me as a Canadian insane and someone was like, why don't you pay attention to some other countries politics instead? like some other commonwealth country?
It's like, why the fuck do you think ...?
The fact gets especially painful when you realise that the people telling you to "stay out of 'their' business" are much less informed about things than you are, and genuinely will not take anything other than your silence for an answer.
"Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt."
Pierre Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada from 1968 to 1979 and 1980 to 1984
"We should climb up the elephant's ass."
Kevin O'Leary, failed Conservative Party leadership candidate
I live on the same floor as that nutcase.
This is what the 'global South' have been experiencing the whole time from the US. Not okay..
Never underestimate how easily manipulated most people are.
You can manipulate people yourself easily. Just tell them what they want to hear, and they will think you're a great person.
It's that simple. Most people are putty if you flatter their ego and tell them how smart and insightful they are.
This is such an understatement…
Same as American
You are the suverain. Russians and North Koerans may not be accountable for their leaders. You are. You are "The People", the aren't you? Change it.
No no no, other Americans are more like little siblings sitting in the room, now realizing they are so effing ded
Nah, it's more like very slow organ failure. Though instead of pain in a hospital bed, you're just seeing headlines about parts of your brain being phased out, your immune system used to destroy microbiomes while nutrients are openly sent to cancerous tumors. Glasses smashed, ACL re-torn on-purpose after a successful surgery and 2/3rds of physical therapy already done.
Also for something more comical... imagine Trump as Zim in Operation Impending Doom 1.
::: spoiler transcription of low-resolution video Tallest Red: "The signing is over, Zim"
Zim: "But you can't have an invasion without me! I was in operation impending doom 1! Don't you remember?"
Tallest Purple: "Oh yes, we remember..."
<Flashback of giant mech destroying Irken city, panning into Zim at the helm laughing maniacally>
Mech operator 1: "But sir, we're... still on our own planet!"
Zim: "Silence! Twist those knobs, twist those knobs! You! Pull some levers. Pull some levers!
<Zim manically laughs as destruction continues until flashback ends, cutting to Zim smiling awkwardly>
Zim: "I put the fires out."
Tallest Red: "You made them worse!"
Zim: "Wooorse? ...or better?"
I love the way he is holding the fireworks
