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.

Stop calling USAians "Americans" - it only solidifies their belief that they own 2 continents (fedia.io)

Language can be powerful in shaping ideas and the US has convinced the entire world that they are the "Americans" and everybody else on the 2 continents aren't.

You're overlooking hyphenated American immigrant groups from the entire planet who make up the majority of the population (so, almost everybody), Native Americans (nearly everyone else), and the entire fact there are North and South American descriptors (all the rest of the people in the Americas) because those are the names of the continents we live on (all the places).
