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!

This is one of those headlines that reminds us of how deeply unserious the society we made is. We're throwing around playground insults because inciting a coup and causing mass desth through subpar covid measures made him MORE popular.
Im beggin people to realize Trump is not the endgame, the voters behind him are and they do not change, and will find a better smarter and more electable fascist to rally behind. Meanwhile the Dems have done nothing but try to stop 'Trump the individual', not 'Trump the culmination of fascist citizens desires'.
Yeah, I like to say Trump is a symptom of what we let the GOP and DNC turn America in to.
The GOP and DNC didn't do shit -- they're symptoms of complacency.
The uncomfortable truth is as a species we're tribalistic, short sighted, and selfish. The worst of us eventually find positions of power, and they'll use/create "crisises" to do so. None of this shit is new.

If half the people in the country are too fucking dumb to understand basic level stuff, we just gotta go to playground insults
That's the level of education we've got going on here. If it works to get a fascist out, fantastic. On the other hand, the Democrats are, in the end, no damn different from the Republicans. A bunch of racist old white people who don't actually care as long as they get their money. Both parties should be taken out and this should be more than a two party system
