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!

About a decade late. People like myself were mocked for years for trying to warn people about this.
Wish I could say I felt vindicated. Really, I'm just sad.
I was one who dismissed you (or those like you). Now my penance is trying to get others just as ignorant as I was to believe.
At this point anyone who pretends like they don't know Trump is a fascist is either suffering from severe cognitive impairment and should seek medical attention, or more likely a fascist themselves. You don't get to live through the past 6 months and play the "but i didn't knoooooowwwww :((((((" card.
Pick a side and fight, but don't pretend that the fascist regime will go away with hearts and minds and a nice little conversation. These people know what they're doing, and they'll happily kill you to keep doing it. Resist or don't but don't pretend that this will go away by just motivating people to turn out next election cycle.
Okay, Cassandra.
But also me too. Problem is if people listen then it doesn't happen and it never would've and everyone went nuts over nothing. If they don't listen, everything goes to hell and we have to learn the hard way.
Y2K was a disaster averted because programmers did a lot of work to avert it, but because the disaster was averted a lot of people refuse to believe it would have happened
Exactly. I was one of them.
Yeah, I'm also a disaster.
We're not getting arrested for being Democrats, yeesh. I think you're overblowing the whole situa
Poor guy got arrested mid post for being a Democrat.
I still don't feel vindicated. I'm questioning my sanity because the rest of the world doesn't seem to be taking the fascism in America seriously yet
I think most of the world gets it. The fascism-deniers are a bunch of Americans that didn't pay attention in history class.
I'm in Canada and have talked to people still visiting the states as if everything is normal and who aren't taking my fears of concentration camps seriously
As if the world can stand up to the USA, you must stand up from within...
I'm not American
