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.

There's a difference between thinking he's "one of the good guys" and getting glad he's one of the few people in power standing up to trump, or at least threatening to.
People like him certainly should be held accountable for their bullshit. But bringing it up everytime someone is greatful he's standing up to fascists only helps the fascists.
He’s not “standing up to Trump” for the people, but to assert his exclusive control of the territory. Which is why he is not speaking against militarized assaults on protests, which Newsom also enjoys, but rather against Trump encroaching on the governor’s fiefdom.
In a fight between fascists, you are not required to take either side. Stop reflexively licking the boot.
