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 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.

More than half of Canadians now say they “no longer feel welcome in the United States,” for example, and this sentiment is strongest among women and older people. Article content

During the recent Canadian election campaign with its looming threat of crippling tariffs and annexation, there was a “worrisome intersection” in the Canadian mind of the American government and the American people, according to Jack Jedwab, president of the Montreal-based Association for Canadian Studies (ACS).

Were you all wearing MAGA hats or do Canadians just know from a hunch?

Q: How can you tell if an American is in a group?

A: It's just like with vegans: they'll tell you.

lol @ the maga hat, Like I would ever be caught with that(well technically I wouldn't be caught endorsing either sides tbh, they both suck currently).

As an actual answer though, it doesn't take much to differentiate someone from the US, especially Maine from someone from Canada. Attire generally gives it away but, if attire doesn't give it away, accent definitely will. and if somehow neither of those give it away, the first few questions at a table are generally a courteous "so where you guys from and whats your name". Which unless you lie, would also give it away.
