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.

Not only that, the numbers don't make sense

The $2 trillion figure is likely derived from a report published in March by the American Enterprise Institute, a right-wing think tank based in Washington D.C.

The report’s authors came up with the figure based on military expenditures of NATO members between 2000 — six years before the 2 per cent target was actually formalized — and 2024. The report did not provide a dollar value for Canada’s alleged shortfall specifically.
