I've seen many threads suggesting products but they often don't mention FOSS projects, which should always be preferred to corporate software. With FOSS you are already boycotting capitalism, on either side. Free and Open Source ignores borders and shouldn't be categorized in nationalist terms, no matter where some of the maintainers happen to live.

a minority of the population voted for trump though, it's not like 50+% of the total population voted for him, it's 50+% of the voters, a lot of people just didn't vote.

a lot of people just didn't vote.

So they decided that it was just fine if he won and saw no reason to oppose what he stands for...

Yeah, that's some good people right there I can see that /s

Voter ID, gerrymandering, not allowing absentee voting, no day off.

Not everyone was able to vote, and that disproportionately affected Democratic voters.

All true. But the world also watched a huge amount of voters rejects dems over gaza. While trump had no better plans on gaxa.

Much like Ukraine his only argument is "i am better and every one else was stupid"

The argument often heard. "Voting the lesser of 2 evils is still voting evil".

So yes these folks very much voted the greater of 2 evils by refusing to vote the lesser option. And much of the rest of the world is rightfully sorta pissed at the evil they allowed in.

Maybe a system that regularly gives us "evil vs lesser evil but still evil" as our only options isn't worth saving

"Great people on both sides," as a very stable genius put it 🙄

Either way, this is probably OT for an open source thread...

Yeah, a minority of people voted for Hitler, too.

Fair enough. I'm still smarting from that election result, all the way across the pond.

On the other side, I don't count people as "great" who can't be bothered voting against bigoted authoritarianism. But different strokes, I'm sure.
