Boycott US

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It’s such a very small leap to imagine the next post being β€œhe’s one of the greatest Americans we have, almost as great as me, so why should he be punished for where he was born? RACIST!? Musk/Vance 2028!”

becauze nazi

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

So just so we’re clear here. It’s completely fine for F’elon Musk to manufacture the cars in fascist America, but also countries such as Germany and China. Totally fine.

But it’s NOT ok for other car companies to produce and manufacture their cars in countries that aren’t the USA?

Hypocritical much there you rancid old ~~snake~~ ~~oil~~ car salesman?

Fuck Trump and a super bigly Fuck You to Elon.

how in the fuck is boycotting illegal?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

There is no boycott.

I don't buy a Teslas because I don't want a Tesla, but if it was somehow possible to illegally boycott Tesla, then I would totally not buy a Tesla illegally.

Well according to him it's not illegal If he's saving the country.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This can't be true. It's a fake, right ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Not enough ALL CAPS.

Huh, maybe putting the EV tax credit back in and banning the ridiculous EV registration fees that states are foisting on us would help electric vehicles sell?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can't say it's this way for every state, but my understanding is that the registration fee for EVs is to replace the fact you're not paying the gas tax which is meant to help pay for road maintenance.

At least here in PA that's what they're intending to do. I don't believe it's been implemented yet, however.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How about we remove the fuel tax and instead bill per mile driven? When the gas tax was 25 cents per gallon, EV and Hybrid drivers were paying 30-50% more road tax than a gas car. (It's somewhat even now, assuming you drive your car 14000 miles a year) When the pandemic hit, gas taxes were dropped to 1 cent per gallon... Did the reg costs get waived? Nope.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I think this could work to guarantee everyone pays their fare share.I'm not 100% certain how miles driven should be tracked though. Obviously the odometer, but does the driver report that or the person doing the inspection? How do you make sure accurate reporting is being done?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Agreed, my other concern is where those miles are being driven. If you live on a border, reg the car in one state, but drive 50% of the time in the other...

I figure it would be something where commerical drivers submit milage reports for the year. Personal transportation would have the option of having the odometer checked, self submitting their odometer readings, or paying for the average milage for the state.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

That I think could work. My immediate thought was those mid income who are still pretty much paycheck to paycheck that have to commute because where they work has too high a COL for their income would be hit hard by this, but if there's an option to pay average then they'd be ok.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

My cousin and his wife bought a couple many years ago when they were all the rage. Before all this crap happened. I'm a bit scared for them. This will only redouble people's anger towards Teslas. (But it's well deserverd)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

I like how it's illegal to just decide to not buy something. Capitalism sure has changed.

I know it's not illegal, just making a joke off the dumbass's words.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Don't worry, dumpy will divert federal funds to some other elon owned business under the guise of removing corruption and cronyism.

Most likely i'd say spacex/starlink related, since there are few that can compete in private space in terms of us companies right now. hundreds of billions can easily be sunk into anything aerospace related.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He sure does suck off Elon a lot on social media

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Lmao on these whiny ass babies. Fuck Tesla, if people don't want to buy them, you can't stop them.

Soon to be added to government employment applications.....how many tesla do you own and if accepting the job, would you qualify for financing for a tesla?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

This dudes tweets reminds of the loud speakers in North Korea blasting propaganda non stop.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I work in the defense industry. Many of my coworkers are conservative. Most of them would never consider an electric vehicle (I heard them laughing about rolling coal on a Tesla recently). So the target audience doesn't want them, and the former audience is now staunchly opposed. Who do they think will buy them at this point?
