Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

What’s happening that isn’t easily ignored?

Is Musk ignoring the Tesla damage or crying about it? Thats just what the media can report on. If you think Americans aren't preparing to overthrow a dictator its you thats not doing enough

Well yeah, he's fucked his country over, but he's a loyal stooge for Putin, so the MAGAts see him as one of them.

Hungary has the teat of Europe to suckle on, through the blackmail through their veto rights blocking legislation.

Makes sense. Hungary is a puppet of Russia and Putin’s elbow deep in our president already.

All that corruption, stagnancy and state of impoverishment is what the right cherishes most. It’s why they love him, their real occupation is to continuously complain (and without any real evidence on most topics) about how things are broken, or how it’s someone else's fault. You take away their ability to needlessly hate and they have nothing.

So long as people aren't all identical, they'll have plenty of ability to engage in needless hate

So this thing to look for is republicans getting a 2/3 majority to rubber stamp constitutional amendments and that would be the end goal because that is how orban has kept a stranglehold on the presidency and has done a great job rigging it in his favor. It’ll only end when orban dies.

But he’s left his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished.

Not for the ultra wealthy owners of the country
