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'm really not sure europe is very different there, beyond the fact that european countries as a whole are more culturally diverse than US states, or the US vs. Canada. And even then many people only travel to tourist destinations within europe that won't let you really experience a different local culture anyway.
It's still probably true that europeans experience a bit more cultural diversity because it's just easier to do, but I find it hard to blame the american people for that when so many are too poor to even think of traveling far, and experiencing something other than canada or mexico is significantly harder than to go e.g. from germany to romania.
