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!

They've told us what they're going to (and want to) do every step of the way.
But Trump fans pretend stuff isn't going to happen... even when it's literally happening
On top of that, Trump is 100% going to try to stay for another term
I do not promote violence. You should not commit violence. It is generally not worth it. Mmkay? Want that to be 100% clear. Additionally, violence is what Trump wants so he has an excuse to declare martial law/suspend elections/etc. It's very obvious. Violence = bad.
All that said, unless America lets itself descend into the authoritarian pit, I don't see any way out that won't involve violence at some point/level. We are beyond what was happening during the civil rights era. These people aren't interested in compromise and working together. They want to dismantle America's culture of diversity to replace it with their own.
I'm not sure there are any other methods that work if it comes down to it. Even people on the left are in denial; these people aren't joking about wanting to attack libs. They're actively preparing for it by calling all libs mentally ill, or that liberalism is a disease, etc.
Do you see what I'm saying? How are you going to try to argue with some of these people? Not all republicans are all in on this - but there's enough in power that this is very, very dangerous
All I can say is that I truly hope the courts enforce the constitution. Bring those people back and give them due process. I don't want them deported, but if that ends up happening, at least it's legal &... I struggle to say humane.
I'm ready and willing to fight any which way it takes personally.
Run liberals as GOP candidates. Then vote Republican. But vote for liberals.
Republicans have certainly done the opposite
This is a not-so-crazy move in deeply Republican districts, but it requires getting folks to actually show up and vote in Republican primaries
