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.

The folks who own guns are almost all conservative and live in red states where there is positive sentiment towards ice

I don't think I believe this. The US has 1.2 guns per person including children. You're telling me they are all owned by less than half of the adult population.

The average American gun owner has 5-8 guns.

Half of all privately held guns in USA are held by 3% of American adults.

Anecdotal but of all the gun owners I know, none of them own just one gun.

I just looked it up all the guns are owned by approximately 32% of the population.

I've been a gun owner for like 6 months, and it did not take me long to go from 1 to 3.

This is exactly how it works. You buy a hammer and you realize you need a saw, too. And a wrench would be handy. And i need a drill now, so...

It's not true in the least. The only difference between the left and right gun owners is you'll never see Christmas cards of the family holding ARs coming out of leftists houses.
