Remember the majority of US citizens voted against Trump. Particularly so in states with any wealth. US citizens, you don't have to go along with this.
My suggestion, think about ways you can to stop using money and thus cut off the tax flow.
"To stop the duke, go for gold." (Google it)
The majority of US citizens didn't even vote.
Don't know what country youre from but let's just go to the UK voter turn out is dropping massively and even if 100 percent showed up it wouldnt even be half the amount of people that voted for kamala. The UK about 60 percent of eligible voters vote and in the US 65 percent voted in the last election. You can look at any country that doesn't have compulsory voting and the numbers are all in that range.
Then they voted for this. Inderectly. Because "big-man-don't-like-cat-lady"
I think you are mistaken : for his second term, Trump actually won the popular vote. Which is bonkers.
False. But it was close.
From the outside I was pretty sure that a lot of these "votes" came from electronic voting machines. Chances are Kamala Harris would have won a fair election. But that point is moot in hindsight.
Not only trump won the poplar vote, but if we account for all the people who participated by not voting against him, majority of US citizens voted for him, and overwhelming majority was OK with him as a president, and didn't see anything about him as a dealbreaker
Remember that sales taxes in the US are local. They fund your city and state, not the federal government.
Wrong. They love the orange fellon.
Barter, and where money is helpful we should use FOSS money like GNU Taler or whatever.
