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.

In this Opinion video, Marci Shore, Timothy Snyder and Jason Stanley, all professors at Yale and experts in authoritarianism, explain why America is especially vulnerable to a democratic backsliding — and why they are leaving the United States to take up positions at the University of Toronto.

In communities like this one there sometimes are comments by Americans who understand and agree with the other people here. In this video, a professor (who has spent two decades writing about the history of authoritarianism in Central and Eastern Europe!) says "the lesson of 1933 is that you want to get out sooner than later".

I am sharing this for the Americans who have the means to go, but are doubting whether they should stay or not. Nobody can make that decision for them, but I think the opinion of the three Yale university professors says a lot.

I recently learned of Alfred Hugenberg and recommend learning about him and how what is currently happening in the US (and other countries) is almost to the letter exactly what happened when the Nazis came to power.

The podcast I learned about him from was Behind the Bastards, but I’m sure there’s plenty of sources.
