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!

Lmao hurt Trump? His cultists will be eating rat soup to survive and insist that the economy is great and America is on its way to being Great Again™, and that rat soup is just a necessary sacrifice on that path.
They will, but that is nowhere near a majority, look at the numbers... they are cataclysmic for Trump.
The point is that it doesn't matter to Trump, and his cronies are going to try hard to make it not matter that these things are massively unpopular to the general public.
Can we stop focusing on the fact the 20% of most crazy Trump fascists won't change? We know they won't change... but there are a LOT of people who voted Republican or who didn't vote who are rethinking their choices hard right now.
Maybe it is too late, that isn't a point I necessarily disagree with... but your thesis that things can continue to get worse and it won't matter for Trump's core popularity has already been proven stunningly false by every single damn poll out there of the U.S. (try watching some Republican town halls too, they are a madhouse of people screaming DO SOMETHING TO HELP US).
The cultists, yes... but they're not the ones keeping him on his throne. If enough rich people lose enough money he will be impeached.
Rich people will make money if the stocks go up or down because they'll know in advance what's coming.
There's more at stake than stocks going up or down by a few percent.
People with large business empires don't want a catastrophic recession.
I hate that you are right about that.
The cultists at jonestown were perfectly fine to die. The magas will die for him at well without complaint.
After the great divide and maga has central USA, you guys can get back to work, but unfortunately the civil war is gonna suck
