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.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s plan to give officers gloves that deliver painful electric shocks is facing criticism from Democratic elected officials and civil rights advocates, who call it unnecessary and cruel.

That’s because it’s batshit crazy

Fuck fear of them using it. These troglodytes will be like kids in a candy store happily zapping people left right and centre on day one. Still deciding if pun intended.

Not to mention, after they shock themselves, they try and charge anyone nearby, that hasn't already been thrown on a death camp, with assault and battery of a federal agent

Fucking 5 minutes of them having it and they will shock themselves. Someone's gonna forget and handtaze their balls.

It's a terrible thing but when you put it that way......can we maybe let them have them for about 15 min? The reel will be must watch.

I have the hope they will zap their own balls off by accident.
