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.

Because the effort is no longer worthwhile. This country is irrevocably broken.
No, it's not. Nothing irreversible has happened yet. People have been saying this since Dubya. I was there when people threatened to leave with every election, saying they would move to Canada because the country was done for, and it got so old so fast.
Consider that the only thing you're doing is completing a self-fulfilling prophecy if you don't resist.
And honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if some Russian social engineering campaign is encouraging people to follow this trend by repeating it on social media. Do not give in.
There is so much rot in congress, due to money. The fourth estate (the media) is also rotten to the core, due to money.
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission in 2010 is one of the irreversible things that happened already.
Seceding is probably not the right answer either, but it’s a serious uphill battle for We, the people, to regain control over Congress.
you are so naive it hurts.
Thanks, you too, I've seen you around. Lemme block right away. You still got that insufferable Reddit attitude written all over.
and you've still got that moronic everything will be alright attitude
take your fucking head out of the ground or try and pry it out of your ass.
What was germany after ww2 then?
If the country is irrevocably broken how do you ensure a peaceful relationship when there's two?
T bag loves a good wall. The problem every time secession comes up is it's not north vs south anymore, it's city versus rural. I live in a small city in one of the most conservative states in the US. My state voted for Trump by the highest margin in the nation, both times.
From where I'm sitting right now on my porch, I can see two pride flags flying in my immediate neighborhood. Our mayor is a Democrat and she's actually not horrible.
But if you go just a bit outside the city, those pride flags are replaced by traitor flags. You almost completely stop seeing nonwhite people, just a bit outside the tiny cities.
It's not that bad everywhere, but if you think there aren't a shitload of bootlicking fascists in rural California you will be very surprised. 38% of the state voted for Trump. ~~More than 15~~ Roughly 6 million Californians. EDIT- I mathed bad
I don't know what's going to happen, but I doubt secession is in the cards for anyone unless the Union is dissolved.
I like to remind people that 38% of votes is not 38% of the population approving of him. you have to consider that not all the eligible population voted, and those who are non-eligible likely aren't licking his boots either. closer to 15% of the CA population voted for Trump, just over 6 million votes.
Good point. I know that and don't know why I did the math that badly.
