Sadly, it is a theocracy, yes. I don't know if its religion is Christianity or QAnon or various supremacist ideologies—all the religious impulses seem decentralized—but it's sure an -ocracy and it isn't dem-ocracy. If you choose to boycott the country as a whole, I understand. I live outside the US and I do travel back there (my whole extended family is there), but the last couple trips I made, I rerouted so as not to pass through certain U.S. states where it is currently most illegal for people like me to exist. Not because I'm personally in a high risk category for being transvestigated, but because I object to all the anti-trans laws on principle, and to the culture that enables them. Also I object to the anti-immigrant and anti-abortion laws, yes. It's a huge mess that's getting worse by the day.
