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!

Violent revolution is the only answer, but we won't do it. So my plan b is to move. Doesn't solve the world crisis the US is causing, doesn't solve the rise of fascism, but it at least gives me some breathing room to reset and regroup.
No it’s not
Peaceful shutdown is the only answer. You have to grind the wheels to a halt and force those influential people who actually can act, act.
That’s the only way now.
Edit: no point running, we can’t stop it, and you brought this on yourselves. We had no say in this, why should we bail you out? Stay and help fix it please
Where is a good place to move? Australia seems to be the only option that’s furthest away.
My fiancée is 'Murican
We're getting her out of that backwards shit hole and over to Oz
It's not perfect here, but I've lived in many countries, and it's damned close
There's a reason why I chose to make it my home
@aceshigh @AlecSadler Wherever you move, check the weather and I'm serious.
Don’t try to move north. We don’t want servile, shitty cowards up here.
Well, sorry, but CAD is plan b and I already have an employer there willing to assist
Absolute trash. I hope whatever you’re running from catches up first.
If you think Canada will be immune to this fascistic cancer you are very, very wrong.
Once the wheels start moving they will come for Canada and Cuba and Venezuala and Greenland. Mark my words this will happen. We (Canada) will be in the fight from day one, this is more than crystal clear.
They will need to make their move right around November, most probably in a Reichstag fire type moment (maybe they assassinate trump and blame liberals? That would take care of two birds with one stone).
They will tell us that Antifa and the Democrats have done this. They will declare martial law and will start arresting liberals and leftists. After they take the US they will immediately turn their attention outwards.
Our only saving grace is that we will have righteousness on our side and they will have failing moral from invading their closest allies whom they train with constantly.
I have no doubt that Canada will prevail in the coming war but it wont be easy.
Were well aware of all this, thanks.
Been telling you to stop letting your fuckup kid play with matches for ages- in return, you got belligerent and shitty and gave us the finger yelling about freedom and how good you were at fighting. Now that your house is ablaze and threatening to engulf everyone else’s, we we tell you to put it the fuck out and you respond by reminding us that “your house is next” like this isn’t what we’ve been telling you for decades would happen?
“We” will have righteousness on “our” side? No, you’re complicit in what is happening in the US right now. Yes, YOU, personally.
Go fuck yoirself, really. You’re MAGA-lite at best.
You need to learn to read and stop hating.
You have fallen for lies and can't admit it and it has affected your ability to understand text.
Hate is a powerful drug and you are high on a billionaires supply, congratulations!
Enjoy ICE.
How? I dont live in the US, idiot.
