@LongestPath I wonder, why boycott everything? Should the people who suffer under #Trump be punished too? Seems like strange nationalist rhetoric to #BuyFromEU.
I mean I agree to boycott big business, especially big tech and everything owned by billionaires. It's just that a lot of European brands are owned by billionaires too who are just as bad, they just didn't explicitly get handed the keys to the government (yet).

As a democracy voted, the US voted for Trump - this is exactly what was signposted in Project 2025 & his campaign trails. We've another 4 years of this tariff bullshit, and his threats to annex Canada / Greenland, and him siding with Putin.
This isn't punishment, this is the EU not siding with the bullies. If you don't like the situation, use your power as a US voter and make your voice heard.
You've absolutely got a point about billionaires. None of them should be trusted. But right now the biggest threat are the billionaires controlling social media + tech, which are predominantly US based.

As a democracy
That's an exaggeration.
the US voted for Trump
Yup.

That may be pessimistic (as he may die first) or optimistic (as he may not allow another election - he is already talking about next term).
This isn't punishment, this is the EU not siding with the bullies
Yup.

Do not draw parallelisms with Trump's newnazi regime and Europe. Here we do not allow big tech to enter government and make nazi salutes.

I see your point, however, imo, buyers in EU can signal (with their purchases) that Trump's words/actions have real (financial) consequences, and then those EU/US billionaires (who are benefiting from cross continent trade) would pressure him to stop doing what he is doing...
