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.

If he were staying because he was actually planning to work against the regime that'd be different, of course, but being an elderly actor I'm not expecting that from him. He ain't exactly Luke Skywalker IRL, after all.
I don't think it'd have that effect. I think that, for the people cheering on this downfall, they'll think "good riddance"; for everyone else, who can't leave, it'll feel like abandonment.
