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!

( amendment, to explain where the hell I'm coming-from, on this:
I expect hundreds-of-millions fewer to be left alive, when the Putin+Trump alliance finally implodes, next-decade, in North America.
The principle I identified is a principle that EVERYone needs to be understanding, now.
I expect Trump to establish war against Canada, using Greenland & Alaska & navy & airforce to seal Canada off, so as to BUTCHER Canada, for sake of his continental-kingdom, possibly later this-year 2025,
I expect Tump to establish war against all non white-Republicans, possibly "de-naturalizing" everybody who isn't in his cult,
AND I expect Trump to establish war against Central & South America, butchering as much as he can, for imperialism's sake.
WHILE that's going-on, I expect Russia to be butchering Europe, with China's & .. the middle-east's backing, because Western bullying is something they're ABSOLUTELY committed to replacing with their own dominion..
& when, in the early 2030's, the Putin+Trump strategic-collaboration-in-butchering-the-West implodes,
then China'll have its empire built, and it'll then be able to begin a 1/2-ish century long war against the remnants of the West.
IOW, none of us are going to live in anything other-than WW3's appatizer ( until the early 2030's ) or WW3 itself, from now on.
Seen in that light .. my categorical recommendation to speak carefully will make more sense. )

.......rrrriiiight.
For ten years I've been telling everyone how ugly this MAGA movement is going to get, and all the while, people have been pushing back with "You're over-reacting, bro," and then it keeps getting as bad as I said it would, over and over again, and I still keep hearing, "You're over-reacting, bro," and I'm just so sick of it! When will people finally wake up and realize the gravity of the situation we've gotten ourselves into?
That having been said, you're over-reacting, bro.
I don't think they will ever wake up. I'm 100% with you though. I don't see how everyone is so okay with this shit no matter how much worse it gets.
Then I ask you to read a few communities here on Lemmy.World and sort-by-new, and then sort-by-contraversial, & see both the current & the most-strongly-reacted-to items:
Once you see the acceleration that's going-on, then maybe you'll understand what I'm seeing.
