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 get rid of citizen's united and 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.

“Illegally boycotting.”
Trump is hilarious. Like the government can stop me from NOT BUYING something.
Sounds like if he had it his way, we’d be forced to buy only what he declared and in the quantities the law stipulates, regardless of need or ability to pay.
it's like that time when Elon "free speech absolutist" Musk tried to sue advertisers that decided that they didn't want their ads on his Nazi filled platform
ie, the ultimate neoliberal wet dream. let’s hope it doesn’t come to pass.
Excuse me sir, have you performed your government mandated consumption today? It looks like your spending quota is a little low, how about ordering some tasty Dominoes^TM and signing up for a subscription service or your choice? Remember what your mother taught you: "a penny saved is a penny wasted". Money atrophies if you keep it locked up, everyone knows that! You need to keep that cash aerated, circulate it!
I hate how possible this sounds. Like, alongside the other bullshit we’ve been exposed to, this nonsense sounds like it could be real.
This sounds like a great short story, or black mirror episode.
As billionaires do the exact opposite hording their money.
Remember, this South African immigrant, whose father owned a slave ran ~~diamond~~ (edit: emerald) mine, sued advertisers for pulling out due to his racist remarks and the racism being spewed on his platform. Choosing not to advertise on his platform was ‘collusion’ and illegal… 🤦♂️
I forgot about that. Free choice and free will apparently isn’t a guarantee in this country, anymore.
Neither is free speech and the right to peaceful protest

Thank you for the correction, I don’t want any misinformation over here, but it has been a while since I’ve looked into it.
Like a planned economy?
