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 get rid of citizen's united and 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.

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)

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.

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours 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?

His misuse of public office should be landing him a third impeachment. Why is any of this being ignored as the new normal?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Because the American people are cowards, and don't know how to stand up against this. Their inaction speaks volumes in its own way.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 hours ago

So wait…. Boycotts are illegal now? It’s mandatory to buy their trumpmobiles?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

I like the idea that Trump is Musk's new car salesman. Oval Office/Tesla Headquarters.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

Dude really made swasticars and fascists don't even buy it because they don't roll coal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

When you know the truth about Tesla, the term "Elon's baby" makes him sound the world first "car cuck".

This is a car as for every car except Teslas. Maybe it's an ad for bikes too.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Right, so NOT buying a car is illegal now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

They'll let you buy something else, but first you'll need to watch a video on the benefits of owning a Tesla, watch an ultrasound of your new baby Tesla, and complete a 72 hour waiting period with mandatory daily calls with a DOGE sponsored automotive counselor.

“Illegally boycotting.”

Trump is hilarious. Like the government can stop me from NOT BUYING something.

Sounds like if he had it his way, we’d be forced to buy only what he declared and in the quantities the law stipulates, regardless of need or ability to pay.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Well obviously, it's time to for company stores to make a comeback.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Trump signs an executive order that every American must purchase a Tesla. Supreme Court rejects the order by a 5-4 vote several weeks later

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

"Rejects"? Oh, you optimist.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Excuse me sir, have you performed your government mandated consumption today? It looks like your spending quota is a little low, how about ordering some tasty Dominoes^TM and signing up for a subscription service or your choice? Remember what your mother taught you: "a penny saved is a penny wasted". Money atrophies if you keep it locked up, everyone knows that! You need to keep that cash aerated, circulate it!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

I hate how possible this sounds. Like, alongside the other bullshit we’ve been exposed to, this nonsense sounds like it could be real.

it's like that time when Elon "free speech absolutist" Musk tried to sue advertisers that decided that they didn't want their ads on his Nazi filled platform

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Remember, this South African immigrant, whose father owned a slave ran ~~diamond~~ (edit: emerald) mine, sued advertisers for pulling out due to his racist remarks and the racism being spewed on his platform. Choosing not to advertise on his platform was ‘collusion’ and illegal… 🤦‍♂️

Good grief, the President of the United States shilling for a Private Company. How pathetic.

I actually stopped buying their products.

No huge loss. Black beans are black beans.

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

I miss their cookies, but yeah it's been a several years boycott for me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 23 hours ago

I'd forgotten about that one. Yeesh

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didn't he do a photo shoot for beans in the oval office or something like that?

Google says:
Yes! https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-goya-beans/

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

Yep, I'd forgotten about it.

This is the shit that really bugs me with Trump in office again. He is the leader of the executive branch and just throws out statements saying boycotting is illegal.

His words should matter and the office should matter but it’s all just reality TV horseshit.

I’m sick of it.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 day ago (19 children)

"illegally and collusively boycott". Trump is such a turd of emotions. Just says things that feel true, and his idiot followers gobble it up. I don't think there's any case where a boycott is illegal, and colluding is just a scarier word for organizing or cooperating.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

The only reason Trump knows what the word colluding means is because of his collusion with Russia.

[–] IrateAnteater 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

colluding is just a scarier word for organizing or cooperating.

Makes sense when you remember that he doesn't want people cooperating, that's communism ~/s~ . He wants people obeying.

In a show of support for Elon Musk, a truly great ~~South African~~ American

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is working. Keep boycotting US everyone!

(Americans we still love most of you as individuals, its just .. the threats and backstabbing by your leader is a bit much)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Totally understand. Keep the boycotts running. We'll keep doing what we can from here. This isn't just about the US, it never was. Until we bury ALL the fascists, it's gonna be a little hectic around this 3rd stone from the Sun. Stay strong, perseverance furthers.

Here it is without all the adjectives telling you what to think or how to feel:

To conservatives, Republicans [redacted]; elon musk is "putting it on the line" and the liberals are boycotting tesla (paraphrasing). [Redacted] In any event. I'm going to buy a brand new tesla tomorrow morning as a show of my confidence and support for Elon Musk [redacted]

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

Of course, the guy knows the word "collusively":

secretly acting together for a fraudulent or illegal purpose

It's like the word was made for him...
