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!

Just shut the fuck up, man. Do you think I'm happy about all this? My rights have been eroded whether I like it or not. I'm just hoping that they are not eroded further. I don't understand your stupid comment.
Unless I misunderstood you and you're in fact a republican threatening me, in which case, doubly go fuck yourself.
No, you just sound like an idiot if you think shit is not going to hit the fucking fan. Day fucking one he's deporting people. It's going to get ugly. So stop making it seem like it's going to be okay.
I just wished you stopped name-calling me since it makes you sound like a edgelord teen.
You're entitled to your opinion. I understand that you're angry. So am I. But I can't do shit about what's about to happen. So I prefer to remain hopeful and do whatever I can to continue supporting the communities that will be affected by what the majority of Americans legitimately decided in democracy.
I understand wanting to be hopeful, I'm trying too. What you said originally sounded like you're downplaying all of this, and I'm assuming that's why you got downvoted so much.
I hope supporting our communities will be enough for this next 2 to 4 years, but only time can tell.
And I'm sorry I called you a dumbass.
No harm done, brother. Infighting is precisely what they want us to do. Sorry I reached the way I reacted too.
But anyway, the whole situation sucks, and I'm very aware of that. I decided not to give that orange asshole any more attention than the strictly necessary. And in turn I'll focus my energy on signaling strength to those who are too sad and scared for the future.
