Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Not sure I love the sound of "drastic reforms to the government". But if we're stupid enough to give gim the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania again, it's what we deserve.
As Gerrymandered as most red states are now and all the voter suppression tactics, I don’t know “stupid enough” would be the cause. The popular vote WILL go to Kamala. It’s whether the gaming of the electoral system can be overcome.
Honestly, the fact that it's even close enough for that to matter is a damning indictment of our society. How January 6 wasn't the end of Trump's political career and the start of a prison term, I'll never know.
He should have hanged for it.
Gerrymandering affects the house. It's the electoral college that affects the presidential election.
Those of us ignorant enough to vote for Trump also vote for the Greg Abbott's and Ron DeSantis' of the country. It's not a popular position these days but we, the little people, includes the poo-brained asshats voting for Trump and the fascist takeover of the American South. But they're too stupid (or more accurately, willfully ignorant) to understand the scope of what voting for maga and maga-adjacent Republicans really means.
I guess through a kinder lens our maga neighbors don't have the perspective required to understand the truth of the world they live in. Some might be wholly incapable, but most just don't care enough to try. But the societal bubble the average maga voter lives it makes the ethos look pretty appealing. The rhetorical techniques used by maga media and personalities are like psyops level effective.
It would be irresponsible and incorrect to lay it all at the feet of voters or politicians of any political party. Every American is responsible for what's going on in the country right now.
Sounds like Project 2025, the thing he claims not to know about.
That's exactly what it will be. "It is totally not Project 2025 because Musk made it up after heading the task force, right.... right? Wait, he came up with all the exact same actions as Project 2025? That must be coincidence."
Pay attention to who has the signs out in their yard for Dementia DonOLD. If he gets elected, watch them all flip like they never voted for him when shit all goes bad.
