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!

Americans, the cancer is spreading. These are the first waves of people with integrity being uprooted. They will be replaced with puppets and you will be drowning in propaganda as you'll only have propaganda outlets available to you.
As a citizen from the other side of the world, it's scary to watch your downward spiral into fascism and how little you're doing about the amoeba in charge. And you're dragging everyone else down along yourselves.
What would be the response you're looking for? Something like 5-6 people already tried to kill him. All the kinds of protests you'd see elsewhere only work when the government actually gives a fuck about what the people want. The no kings protests are worthless. The only thing that could possibly have an affect would be a sustained strike, but people live paycheck to paycheck and have no social safety net to rely on like people do in other countries if they lose their jobs. There's also the issue of the already existing propaganda machine keeping us all at odds with each other. Organizing is non-existent and has been essentially deemed terrorist activity by the government now if they can pin the antifa lable on you.
Cyberattacks and information warfare on a massive scale. Coordinated catfishing and social engineering efforts to expose and ruin MAGA lives. Cut off contact with complicit family members and acquaintances. Want to do a cute little “no kings” parade? Fine- do them on loading docks and at airports. Disrupt work in key areas. Industrial and corporate sabotage. Denial of employment. Denial of services.
And be clear about the fact that this is the STARTING point and you WILL escalate.
And oh, hey- you’re literally sitting on a pile of decorated generals, heads of intelligence and national security agency leaders who have been forced out by Trump for insufficiently licking boot or have resigned in protest of Trump.

Where are these cowards? A few are clowning around on social media. If you won’t do anything and these people won’t stand up, you’re absolutely fucked
The United States needs a General Strike.
The companies that support Trump do so because they make more money.
Harm the money flow, cite the regime as the reason, and watch industry punt the fucker.
Their comment addressed why we can't do that. We cannot individually afford to become homeless. The economic coercion has been planned and calculated.
Oh, we're way past the first wave.
Not sure why this was downvoted, it’s accurate. It’s scary and sad, but it’s accurate.
