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.

Imagine if ICE ordered your plane to land and they arrest all the passengers and flight attendants to bring into their torture facilities.

That is an unreasonable concern. ICE is not forcibly diverting commercial planes, nor are you going to win the anti-lottery of being the first.

If your flight is going to land in the US it will be because of an emergency or diversion. In an emergency they will land wherever they need to for safety. Even domestic flights near the US could divert across the boarder. But that is also incredibly rare.

The US charges airlines overflight fees for passing through the airspace controlled by the US, this includes the most of the pacific and atlantic. Any flight to Mexico will have the airline pay a fee to the US for the ATC services.

If you want to avoid the US fully you'll have to plan a stopover in Europe, and South America or Africa. But I don't think your concerns are reasonable.

MAGA border patrol have invaded Canada and kidnapped one of our citizens so nothing is out of the question for them. They’re constantly escalating.

I was unaware of this. Can you link a news article so I can learn about it? Thanks!
