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!

The abandonment of rural fiber killed any hope enticing remote workers out of cities. This is just another nail rural Americas coffin.
Why would Joe Biden and Democrats do this? Clearly they hate real Americans.
Leopards have to eat too.
And they're all voting Republican next year, to own the libs.
Likely fewer, though...
This is HORRIBLE! That WHITE PEOPLE will ALSO be Effected! I voted for TRUMP so I could KICK TRANS KIDS! NOT to Lose my HEALTHCARE even though Trump EXPLICITLY Said he WOULD Eliminate MY Healthcare!
They had a fucking guide printed this time too!
So it's quite obvious how all these cuts hurt Republicans and red states the most, but what's the end game?
Is this just another side to that 258m? They're going to reduce the population by that much, damn whoever is in the path?
But then what? You have a population unable to sustain itself. You can't have wars because you can't supply your troops.
I don't think there's an endgame here. I think they just want to cause suffering to beat off to
they want to expand slavery again and they don't care how many nurses and teachers get bumped down to do it
The end game is their base will still vote for them regardless of how much suffering they will inflict on them.
If you are in an abusive relationship and your abuser knows you won't leave them then they are free to abuse you.
My guess is they are trying to do everything they can to incite violence so they can declare martial law.
I guess they underestimate how much the left values non-violent resistance. They wont throw the first punch. I don't agree with it, but I think the regime is pissed off by it. Everything seems to be clogging the wheels, the courts throwing things out, investigations, lawsuits. They need Martial Law to be able to use an Iron Fist. And they have to be completely certain that Iron Fist will hold.
Honestly I think they thought they could gain more direct control faster, remember many of them have only traveled around the US via jet so their idea of how big it actually is is comparable to like Fallout 3. Fact of the matter is the US is fucking massive if which requires a shit tonne of bureaucracy to maintain and they can't do what they want with it intact, this has resulted in them most likely being bogged down dealing with bureaucrats who have no reason to listen to them. So instead they do their damndest to just burn everything down, which will inevitably weaken their position since they are reliant on soft power.
Also I think Americans are generally more resistant to enacting violence on the feds since they can always pull more manpower from elsewhere. I suspect if the feds start showing an unwillingness or inability to move assets around I suspect that you will see an almost Iceni level of violence towards the feds, this also somewhat applies to cops since they are likely to get federal assistance.
HitlerPig once said that Stephen ”PeeWee Himmler" Miller told him that he wanted to reduce the population to 100 million white people. That's about 70% of the current population.
It was Noem who said something about 258m Americans being saved by fentanyl. So those a bit too close for comfort
Color me shocked... a guy from NYC doesn't give a shit about rural people
Fuck em
Yup. May they have the day they voted for.
Don't want the Medicaid cuts, but lack of healthcare and fewer jobs for areas that voted Trump is a small silver lining
