The case for boycotting the United States | Robert Reich
If you are considering a trip to the US, please reconsider. Why reward Donald Trump’s America with your tourist dollars?

I started boycotting everything America like 5 weeks ago Mr. Reich, and that was before the US started disappearing dissidents, and deporting innocent people to prisons in El Salvador. I'm glad smart people seem to agree with me. I'm glad my countrymen agree with me.
And yeah, I did it because Trump insulted and threatened my home. But I won't necessarily stop when he's gone. Depends how he goes. America rises up, arrests him and his cronies and cleans house - then maybe we regain some trust.
In the more likely event he dies of a stroke later this year and his regime tears itself apart with infighting- then it isn't really "Donald Trump's America", I have a problem with. The US is, to put it mildly, an unreliable and volatile nation and we won't be trusting or dealing with them again any time soon.
I'm American and I hate that you're right. Before we elected trump I would've argued with you. Now that we saw his destruction and chose it again, I cannot blame anyone for not trusting us. We proved we cannot be trusted any time soon
Our electoral college system, Supreme Court, and political under representation has completely fucked us. It’s become an unreliable system that is easily manipulated by oligarchs and will need to be structurally rebuilt to fix. I hope I survive to see it happen, but I’m not getting my hopes up.
It has happened here.
Yeah. I mean I still hope there's a chance but deep down I've agreed with this since trump was elected
