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.

The strangest part of this article to me, is at the end where the journalist seems to imply all we need is a sign of good faith from America at this point, and it'll all blow over. Horseshit.

America going fascist is a 'rupture', because it's a clear sign that the traditional world trade order is done -- even if the dems get in next time around, the repubs will flip and burn all bridges when they get back. America is manic, and not a trustworthy trade partner. The way to repair that damaged reputation, is to go back to being sane for decades, not for a one time concession. Like even when the dems come back into power, I see no reason we ought to trust them -- and I see no reason the dems would think we would, frankly, given how dysfunctional the system has proven.

As a Canadian, I'll happily continue avoiding US products until there's been some serious changes made, and/or I've seen a long period of sanity from our southern neighbours. I honestly don't think that'll happen in my lifetime. They're out there blowing up civilian boats, boasting about committing war crimes, censoring their comedians for really modest criticism of the administration, cheering as musk goose-steps around nazi saluting, calling for the destruction of Canada both at the administration level and on fox... like why the hell would I overlook all that?

I think it's worth pointing out that much of the US Democrat party has been assisting with the fascist takeover. There are some outspoken individuals that are still holding out, being outspoken and trying to fight it, but so many of the GOP's bullshit bills have been pushed through with either Democrat silence or even outright capitulation. Outside of a few outspoken Democratic governors, there really is no party leadership or even a sense of direction at all.

The US is nearly a single-party country at this point.
