Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If so many people hate him, then why the F did he win twice? Why did it take him getting into office twice, which wasn't enough, to him fucking over the US economy, which wasn't enough, to him being a pedophile which definitely wasn't enough, to him making gas expensive, and NOW I'm starting to hear even from the right that this may not be a good thing...
Why wasn't him being a pedophile enough for people to get off their asses and vote? Or even fucking protest? Those no king protests were jokes, all of them. All those "But its the biggest protest in the US, ever!" comments ignore the "It didn't do shit" part of that equation. Americans have done little to nothing to stop trump. People are disappearing in the streets, nothing happens.
Have you ever watched these American movies? You know the ones, where some lone hero saves us all because he is "An American(tm)" ? Fuuuuuccckkk that is some bullshit. Americans are pussies who are not willing to sacrifice anything. All those "Thank you for your sacrifice" for military officers is bullshit, most guys are out there because they were too poor or they were happy to play GI-Joe. I see no american heroes anywhere
If so many people hate trump, then why are we here having this discussion in the first place?
