    Venezuela is incorrect: it’s not a US*-backed* coup, it’s a US coup period.

        The main difference is that they don’t bother pretending any more. It was always about installing a US puppet regime.

    Then they ask why people come to America. A lot of Latin America wouldn’t be in the US if the US just minded their own business and left Latin America alone.

    US, you are the reasons for mass migration to the US.

    Fifty years without US-backed coups until Trump.

      You just gotta scroll up a bit. Nicaragua and Guatemala were in the 80s, absolutely the stuff of nightmares ten times worse than what Trump is doing. We almost certainly sponsored an attempted coup against Hugo Chavez in the early 2000s, and a successful one in Honduras under Obama.

      You’re not wrong that Trump is a horrifying new chapter. It is testament to the semblance of humanity that the US State Department slowly developed post-2000 that, yes, Trump is a return to a much more barbaric and brazen time of US foreign policy, with worse surely on the horizon. But we never really stopped being the bad guys, we just got a little more subtle and less overtly violent about it, until now.

    Live your myth in America! Where coups and attacking other countries is normal. After all it not the citizens, it’s the government and the companies.

    This doesn’t seem like a coup or even a us backed coup just yet. It may well end up being one. Right now it seems like a kidnapping and extortion.

    I don’t know why, but this reminds me of the monopoly game from McDonald’s.

    Just a few more value meals…

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.
