I don’t judge the US by the Americans I know (most of whom not only support but encourage a boycott of the US). I judge them by the nation they’ve shaped.

When a nation repeatedly elects a leader who undermines global trust, democracy, and moral standards, it’s hard to separate the people from the consequences of their collective choices. My boycott isn’t about individuals: I am holding a system accountable. If two-thirds of a population enables someone like Trump twice, there has to be a response. I refuse to fund or engage with a culture that, at its core, has lost its way.

Keep in mind that Americans elected this guy (or allowed him to be elected) twice.

The US has lost its moral high ground, the trust in its institutions, its leadership on the world stage, and the idea that it is a nation governed by laws, not men.

I no longer spend anywhere American (Starbucks, Costa, McDonalds, Morrisons) or on anything American. I also no longer watch American films or programmes.

Our family have had great fun discovering films and television from Canada, Australia, Japan, France, and other European companies.

I never knew just how pervasive and awful American culture was until Trump, so I guess I have him to thank for that.

There were a lot of hares around where I lived up in the Highlands and they would turn pure white when the Winter came. Sadly, this didn't protect them from the local gamekeeper's shotgun. He was very fond of hare pie.
Happy Earth Day!

There is a lot more hope since your first post. Things could still go either way, but I see so many people of goodwill coming together and making a stand for humanity and the planet.
