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.

Yellowstone is the most active geothermal area in the world, with over half of the entire world's known geysers in a single park and you left that out for Mt Rushmore...? Yosemite the "one national park we have"? Are you trolling? This comment and seeing it getting upvoted makes me irrationally angry because our wilderness is the best thing we have going for us and is basically what is keeping me in the country. People need to know how great it is so we can remember we need to protect it!

The vastness of the US west is something special. And in all that space if you just wander you're bound to find something beautiful by accident. I've lived in the west for 15 years and I'm not even close to being bored and always find new places. Are there analogues elsewhere? Sure. That doesn't make it not special.

As for specific natural wonders... There's the redwoods and sequoias. Joshua trees. Saguaro National Park is incredibly unique, although saguaros exist in Mexico too. Hell cacti only exist natively in the Americas, and many species only in the US deserts. Devil's Tower is awesome. The entirely of Yosemite is amazing. The entire state of Utah might as well be a national park. Seriously. Those landscapes are amazing. The Great Interior Seaway going through the US made it amazing for fossils, tons of dinosaurs in particular. All the volcanic activity on the west coast and Hawaii is fascinating. I just recently learned about the Driftless Zone and how cool is that! I could go on and on.

I've even had a great time with people from France in these places. Can you even believe it? Real non-geologist French people! Coming to the USA!

The world is full of beautiful natural wonders, and the US is just another part of the world and it has them too!
