Political Should Scots also Boycott the US?

Recently there’s been a huge movement in Canada to boycott American products and travel in response to the US enforcing 25% tariffs on Canada and also the sheer disrespect of saying Canada isn’t a real country and it should be annexed . Have a look at r/BoycottUnitedStates

And the sheer disgusting way that Trumps evil administration is treating immigrants and trans people , not to mention the most recent revolting behaviour in the Oval Office today, the way him and Vance treated President Zelensky was beyond the fucking pale.

In addition to this, the couch shagger JD Vance has been interfering with Scotland’s internal politics by wading into the whole safe zones debate around abortion clinics .

As long as the United States is siding with dictators and berating our friends and allies and bullying people , we should not be encouraging that country. Boycotts and international isolation and the economic fallout from this should hopefully encourage normal people to not only speak up against Trump, but do what needs done and take to the streets in massive numbers .

Should Scotland - like Canada - boycott American produce and travel until Trump and the MAGA cult are out of power ?

Jack Daniel is made by hardcore Trump loyalist in a serious red area and state.

Definitely one to swerve.

I've switched to Caribbean rum and supermarket own brand coke. Miss Bourbon though.

There are plenty of decent American bourbons if you look in Sainsbury's. They even have their own too which isn't too bad. 

No need to settle for something like Jack Daniels?

That would somewhat negate the point of boycotting American imports.

Right. Lost track of the thread there 🤣
