Why wouldn’t that be important? You’re punishing people who have absolutely nothing to do with, and actively oppose, the things you’re talking about, while the people responsible are completely unaffected.
I wish them luck (I genuinely do), but the existence of such people doesn’t change that the US will almost certainly remain commited to crime, corruption, chauvinism and demagoguery in the coming decades.
From my experience this is not purely a US far right issue. As I mentioned in my reply, much of the centre right might oppose the current administration, but they are still opposed to anti-crime reform (if not supporting crime out-right).
That’s a mischaracterization. Trust me, it brings me no joy to see the US become a chauvinist, criminal oligarch regime. It’s a disaster to be honest.
That being said, you do not want to send money to a regime that wishes you harm and is composed of criminals. Nor is it unreasonable to make an assumption that the dominance of criminal elements is permanent and American civil service will get permanently debased and hollowed out.
Mind you, this sort of outcome is not surprising and a foreigner living in the US could notice the foundations of such an outcome a decade before Trump.
It is a mischaracterization! What have I said that makes it seems to you that I support the US oligarchic regime and wish the worst to those Americans that oppose it?
You suggested that people should boycott all American companies because of their government. I don’t know how I’m supposed to interpret that any other way.

It sounds like you genuinely wish them the opposite, since you’re encouraging others to boycott their businesses for the crime of existing in America.

Then correct me. Because you’re speaking out both sides of your mouth.

That’s simply not true!
You suggested that people should boycott all American companies because of their government. I don’t know how I’m supposed to interpret that any other way.
Correct.
That’s not the same thing as what you are claiming (that I wish bad things for those Americans who oppose the current regime).
Replace “those who oppose the current regime” with “all Americans” and it’s exactly the same thing.
