For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

It's baffling to me that we're watching an open hostile takeover by a petulant trust fund baby, and allowing it to happen.

Allowing? We voted for it to happen. This is literally what 50% of the country wants.

Over 50% of those who voted. ~30℅ of the electorate, less than 25% of citizens. Don't give him more than he's earned.

Alternative wording:

30% of the electorate is actively pro-trump, 30 % of the electorate is actively anti-trump, 40 % doesn't give enough of a shit either way to get off their couch and vote.

Alternative alternative wording:

70 % of the electorate is pro-trump or ambivalent.

See, it's very easy to speak for non-voters. That's why anyone with half a brain discards their opinion entirely. So we have to assume 52 % of American voters support Trump.
