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.

Why are people being so mean to this CBP officer giving a public service announcement to tourists?
Right? Like, I wanna scream it at these idiot tourists too
I haven't since you elected the orange idiot
Please don't refer to the color orange when referencing our idiot-in-chief - it's insulting to the intelligence of our single brain-celled orange feline friends.
Can we refer to him as the bloated, bald bag of fecal containment?
I think the preferred description is "fucking satan".
Personally I feel it lacks panache.
The Satanic Temple people would disagree. Don't put this one on them.
Personally, I prefer the French Canadian term osti de crosseur de poules mortes. I'm not sure it translates well, but I'll give it a try:
Fucking dead chichen masturbator
Satan is way smarter and more consolation than Trump has ever been.
“Shit for brains pedo convict” is more accurate.
Does he really contain it though?
Bloated, bald bag of overflowing and ruptured fecal containment?
Roger that. 😂
Same same. I went from living in the US 3 months of every year for various jobs to now where I won't even fly over. I love our american friends, but their leadership (and lack of pushback against the same) have made it a non-starter for even visiting.
Even when I used to think more highly of my own country, I still thought most CBP guys are dickheads. Still do.
They are given way too much power over non-citizens and somehow that goes to their heads, making them think they are better than fellow humans.
It started a very long time ago. Check out this eye opener...
Part one: The Complete, Insane History of American Border Militias
"The country you are located in is not supported. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we do not allow access in your current location."
Never mind. I have in fact encountered the border militia while in transit at LAX. It was not a pleasant experience.
Roger that!
Who would want to visit that 3rd world shit hole? I wouldn't visit it, if you'd pay me handsomely.
If they paid me handsomely in advance, I'd buy airline tickets to go to the USA.
Then I'd skip the flight.
Oh yes, great idea 😁
I've never met a CBP official that was polite, efficient or professional. It looks like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel to find these people.
These are people who are such losers they couldn't qualify to be police. Let that sink in.
Oh, my, it's far worse than that.
Border guards (in almost any nation) are those the police rejected and the prisons rejected.
They're not good enough to be PRISON GUARDS.
Let that sink in.
Border guards (in almost any nation) are those the police rejected and the prisons rejected.
... imagine a country where there are so many prison guards that this statement has any meaning.
You don't have to imagine it. Just look to the USA. IIRC it is the country that has the largest proportion of its population behind bars.
They've been scraping the bottom of the Cracker Barrel for a while now to find their "qualified and professional" brown shirts.
in my experience, the grand majority are either assholes or just terrible to deal with. but there have been a handful of genuinely nice people, and another handful of neutral
very much overshadowed by the assholes though
Don't threaten me with a good time.
You got it, buddy.
Help, my country is full of belligerent idiots in power
Take off hoser
Must be Hozier’s cousin. That’s not Hozier.
I fixed the spelling https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hoser
Yeah, I know what a hoser is ya hoser. That’s the joke.
Yelling at people from the next car over doesnt seem very safe, and also seems like harassment. This moron needs to be fired from his job in the US and also banned from ever entering canadian soil.
In other words, he ordered Canadians not to buy anything from the US.
Interesting. What about the child rapist and felon rump and the epstein list?
hope you folks are ready to repel these fucks when they try to pull this in squads
Yes please!
The pathetic little power trippers. That one has reddit mod written all over his dull eyed face.
Oh come on. Reddit mods don't have jobs.
People sure do lose their minds when folks are crusing in the left lane. It even creates international incidents with unhinged border guards.
