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!

So... not the paedophilia or the rampant curruption?
He built his name on those two things. Literally. That's been his brand since the 1980's: shady businesses, inflated real estate deals, and beauty contests. His base voted him in because they liked what they saw and wanted more of it nationwide.
I'd assume the pedophilia and corruption were already making a decent amount of people angry, judging by the recent election results. War against Iran was just the tipping point, without the preceding issues I'd doubt it'd have sparked much of a revolt.
This is not me arguing that any of these are ok btw, in an ideal world any of these things would lead to the end of the administration.
I'd bet a lot of money if there was an election right now they'd still vote Republican.
No, that's not how anything works....
"The straw that broke the camels back" isn't just one heavy ass piece of straw.
It's one thing, in addition to every single thing that came before it.
So its this and the pedophilla and rampant corruption, and everything else.
But... like... literally everyone can agree that pedoshit should always break the camel's back. Like it's literally universal across pretty much every demographic that nobody should protect a pedo and even the worst serial killing criminals in prison are still viewed more favorablly than pedos.
I'm sure they persuade themselves that this is only a conspiracy aganist dear leader. they're idiots
No, that part reminds them too much of Pastor John, or whatever the guy is they go to on Sunday
