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.

I did read your whole comment. You stated that the country has "always been this way", illustrated with one example, and claimed that this sums up our whole history. It doesn't. But in our new meme-fueled standard of social discourse the world consists only of all-or-nothing Good vs Evil false dichotomies, so what's the use.
