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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary 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. Manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts is grounds for account deletion.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Gonna be a short life if he tries.... lol.
I hope you're right, but we can't even get our fellow citizens to vote against fascism. Now some are expecting these same people to protest, engage in economic boycotts, risk their livelihoods by staying home from their jobs, and more!?
His own guys tried to shoot him already. Twice. If he tries to outright break the constitution? Won't take long.
And he's out right attacking the agencies that would prevent such a righteous act as well, so i imagine the odds of success are only going to go up.
Funny you think those were legitimate attempts.
I mean, I can't fault anyone who chose to sit out this election... they were offered 0 good choices.
I can... We were offered outright fascism or a continuation of slow decay. At least the slower option gave us much-needed time for positive change
I dunno, I'd rather rip the bandaid off, because keep going down the "slow decay" route just means we kept strengthening the machine that is bringing us fascism, making it a more solidly in place system...
But you're right: Fast descent to fascism, or slow descent. But, a fascist was the only options presented.
