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 dunno. I watch Vaush, I watch Hasan. I watch Sam Seder. Please don't kill me but I watch some of PirateSoftware too (yes I know how much Lemmy hates him).
I'm not gonna defend their views, I can't/won't. I generally wanna hear their takes from their perspectives (as flawed as they could be).
I also don't see that even if I disagree with their views that I'd want to say negative things about them being detained as I don't think any of them have asked for it? Like, I'd be cheering if Joe Rogan got detained and bullied. The reason being he endorsed this type of stuff so it's sweet watching someone get a taste of their own medicine.
