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!

Rhetoric like that is absolutely going to make them more willing to work with you, you should keep it up.
I don't want them to work with me, I want them to fuck off
They're not going to, though. Believing they will makes you naive or stupid. What happens then?
You know, last century not a single decent person would say "we should work with the fascists"... and yet here we are...
Fine. Take it that way, I'm getting past caring honestly.
You can think about this shit a little more deeply than that or you can interpret what I said that way. I'm sick of trying to talk sense into you assholes, it's not worth it.
The time for a conversation has passed a long time ago. Nobody is convincing anybody of anything.
I have to believe that's not the case. The moment the time for conversation ends is the moment violence happens. That's not an opinion or a threat, that's how humanity operates. And if y'all wanna do that then fine, you do that, but I don't want to be involved.
But since when you twats decide to light my country on fire I'm going to have to try to keep living in it, I'm gonna keep trying to talk to people that'll listen. At least I'm fucking doing something to fix the shit, what are you doing?
I am actually doing a lot. I run a professional support community that provides tons of free support to anybody willing. We just raised enough funds for 40 scholarships and are making plans for professional grants next year. I don't have kids, I don't eat mammals, I grow my own food, and support local agriculture, I drive as little as humanly possible, and more.
But trying to convince people that Trump is bad news? It's too late. There is no changing anyone's mind at this point.
Congrats, now you know how we feel and why we dont give a shit about working with fascists, fascist apologists or wannabe fascists.
