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.

MODERATORS
77.3m american voters directly cast their ballot for Donald Trump in 2024. That's hardly half.
77M of 155M or 49%, about half.
You can extrapolate that the voting population approximately represents the non-voting population. Or, if you are a prick, you can say that non-voters didn't want this but refrained from voting and are therefore to blame, in which case they still chose this.
America has always been a racists, bigoted, sexist, right-wing playground. The only thing that has changed is that now they don't have to hide it.
That’s not half of ordinary Americans that’s those who voted within the turnout.
The 13 colonies was vastly different from the modern 50 states.
You shouldn’t paint the various time periods in American history the same broad brush.
America was not the same as it is today. FDR was magnitudes of a better man than Donald Trump ever was. Not to mention the populace’s beliefs have evolved over time.
Doesn't matter.
