Unless there is a Nuremberg style trial for the current administration, I don't know how America can gain back it's trust.

Even if Americans elect a president that is super helpful/generous to allies, there is always the chance that they elect another Trump in the following election who basically has almost free reign to do anything they want with no consequences.

The constitution that Americans beat over everyone's heads has been revealed to be republican toilet paper.

Most of the good people that don't just flee would be dead after a Civil War 2, leaving only proficient killers and crooks, or just cowards who keep their noses down. Large swathes of the country would be, for decades at least, one of "those places" that you never travel to and hear tales of barbarism from every now and then. Civil war would be a degradation, not a redemption arc.

lol, still won't be true after a civil war

Californian here, and I would agree that US-CA isn’t really the problem that, say, Kentucky is and that’s why the bourbon boycott is effective. But, hurt US-CA and you’re hurting the US, so I support that. And the elephant in the room is that are more Republicans in US-CA than any other state, and I’d wager a high percentage of winery owners skew Republican.

It’s a shame, but the boycott is warranted. I just hope that when we get back to sane times, other countries remember that California largely tries to do the right thing. The way you look at the US, us Californians look at the rest of the US the same way.

I mean for the rest of the world noone cares what individual states think and do. The president and his administration represent the American people.

California, home to the most evil and powerful companies in the world. Lmao.

I live in wine country. Anyone who owns a winery is a capitalist douchebag, full fuckin stop. Feel no sympathy for them in your decision making. Boycott the cunts into the fucking ground.

Can’t really selectively target a nations dipshits so unfortunately you all get punished for not stopping it

Well it's not Mr. Peterson from Wyoming either. But we can't individualize how we treat USA. USA is making threats and has started a trade war, so we have to respond to USA as a whole. Both Canada and EU.

It’s not California being a dick.

California is flush with right wing reactionaries and techno-fascist shitheads.

Some of California votes consistently Republican. The whole state is not exempt.

It's not a la carte dicks of America. It's United States of America. At a certain geopolitical level there is no good vs evil. Just politicians vs politicians.

This is why having normal human beings in the driver's seat is important and not just entertainment.

Give it a gew years and we can maybe start repealing that legislation. No NAFTA? No more preferred trademarks.

It’s kind of like how sparking wine must come from the Champagne region of France to be termed Champagne.

Bourbon is just a naming convention for corn whiskey. I’m just finding out based on your post that Rideau Whiskey is in my neck of the woods, and I will have to try it! BRBN from Okanagan Spirits has been our recent treat - my husband really loves bourbon and this has hit the mark

Do the full tour, beat a spouse and drive a RAM1500 drunk.

we desperately need the whole world to boycott us to save us from the orange chomo-in-chief

The rest of the world will do what we can to protect ourselves from your country's government, but it's up to American citizens to do the hard work of fixing their own damn country.

Boycott - To abstain, either as an individual or a group, from using, buying, or dealing with someone or some organization as an expression of protest.

For me those last words, "as an expression of protest" are important. For me there's no protest and thus no boycott. The upset caused me to try Canadian products. I like them better.
