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.

You guys should be out on the streets protesting en masse. Being complacent is the same as showing you're okay with all of these.
Meanwhile actual americans are being pulled into unmarked vans for looking latino.
Believe me, we are. They just don’t show it on the news. Plus boycotting mainstream vendors like Walmart, target, etc.
Also going to rallies and down ballot candidates. Some important local elections coming up and watch Florida for their special election.
It sucks. But, we have to fight our way out of it.
I see. I'm glad to hear it.
Just remember you're not alone. Canada, Australia, and Europe are actively boycotting the US economy as much as possible.
We're with you. ✊
Take photos and spread the word on social media to get more people to join
Media is not showing anything. We are out in 1000s
That's true as there has been more protests than Trump's first term. Read your independent media!
Something like 60-70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Most people can't afford to protest. And healthcare insurance and other things are tied to our jobs.
Then fight against misinformation, protect democracy, and spread the word about civil rights and voting in upcoming elections.
You guys earn way more than us, but we still find ways to protest more often.
It really is about finding ways, its never gonna be a convenient thing you do on a sunny afternoon...
yall have free healthcare, if a cop injures me at a protest, its even more debt
The average US salary is more than most European countries average salary because we work more hours on average, have less time off, and have higher expenses for things like healthcare, groceries, utilities, etc.
I understand that, my point is the size of the salary has nothing to do with your capacity to protest, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do it over here.
I can assure you we are not leaving our jobs just to protest, and also a majority of people love paycheck to paycheck. You need to find the time and organize.
yall have like no land, dense ass populations, it takes like 3 hours of driving to leave a country lol (it takes me 6 hours to get halfway through my state) we are spread the fk out and have car based cities/towns, we dont have a sense of community lol
How long do you think it takes to go from Madrid, Paris, Berlin or Rome to the frontier?
I think it's their lack of free time. They have no protections if they want to take half a day off to protest.
I sincerely hope ruminating about the economics of your past lives are enough to keep you mentally occupied and busy while you're in a detention facility.
