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.

With all the news of ICE arresting and abusing tourists in my countries news recently I would also think twice before traveling to the US if I don't have to. Not like there aren't other just as interesting/beautiful, cheaper and by now tbh safer countries to travel to.
Besides all the moral questions wrt the slowish slide into fascism ofc.

The zoo in DC is pretty dope, most of it is free as it is part of a park.
Idk though, the central parts of DC where lots of successful people are is suffocating to me. You go out to lunch and everyone has shoes on that cost more than your car and they sound like two LinkedIn chatbots conversing when this is supposedly a break from work?
Ewww
I know there are MANY other facets to DC I haven't seen though!
Countless gorgeous museums, art galleries, music venues, etc. Seriously, the museums alone are days worth of entertainment and some of the nicest in the country.

*Dulles airport is in Virginia, not DC
Does DC have an airport?
There's Ronald Regan Washington National (DCA) but it's not an international airport, so only has domestic flights, and isn't as big.

No, Reagan National is just across the Potomac from DC and also in Virginia.

It’s so wild that they named after one of the Dulles brothers. Truly two of the most evil people who ever lived. And we’re still living in a world grappling with the fallout of their crimes, and those who wish to continue their legacy.
well yeah, but, see, they also did...
reads like 20 books on them, including one of the mildler ones called "the devil's chessboard"
some moderately evil or plausibly disastrous-but-inept stuff too. so, you know, maybe don't talk that way about them.
Never trust countries with the following:
3. Airports named after people.
2. Streets named after dates.
1. Background music on news reports.
If you do somehow find yourself in a country with one or more those things, back away slowly and quietly until you are over the border.
Yeah, who names an airport terminal after someone as awful as...."Harvey Milk?"
/s
There's a lot of countries with airports named after people. Weird thing to be triggered over.
