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.

I don't how to say this without sounding like a dick. Do we really need yet another trendy version of the American flag right now? Every time something shitty happens a new flag emerges. Never a time when something good happens a flag comes out or it's just the standard flag. How many other countries do this? Yeah, I know, maybe the US should quit doing shitty things, but still I genuinely want to know what other countries make trendy flags every time some shit happens.
it is more common here because flying the flag, in general, is far more common than in most places. The US takes flag waving seriously, so it is perfectly fit for redesign in protest.
Embrace tradition. Fly Mark Twain's proposed flag
Wait, what are the other trendy flags?
This is a legitimate question, the only other flag I can think of that gained popularity is the thin blue line version of the American flag.
You swap the blue in that flag for red and it’s “pro firefighters”. Green is “first responders/EMT”. Pretty sure I’ve seen a thin grey line as well, but I’m not sure of the origins.
Oh ok, I think I’ve seen those too.
Fwiw I don’t really see these widespread where I am, in Ohio. Except for the many bootlickers that fly the thin blue line one, the others are relatively rare in my experience.
So they aren’t that trendy at least. Not nearly as much as slapping the American flag on some other symbol like the punisher skull.
The origins of the thin blue line was when black lives matter started it with the black and white flag. This is what I mean by trendy flags. The intent it to show symbolism but the symbolism is lost when all you had to do was put a blue line over one of grey lines and say "blue lives matter" then paint a red line and say "Fire fighter lives matter" or even a yellow line for just first response dispatch (911) in general. Then whoever makes them make a ton of money because they end up on the same trucks running a punisher skull which makes no sense. I mean I knew I was going to get down voted but my intent was to see what other country actually does this.
No other country that I know of has as great a flag fetish as the USA, except maybe their illegitimate hellspawn the Zionist entity.
