Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

With this all out attack on American Citizens. It makes me wonder, if we're their enemy, who are their allies? And also why aren't more Heritage Foundation buildings and Republican Offices on fire?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because the people that hate republicans are usually moral people and wreaking havoc and mayhem isn’t something we usually do.

You're going to have to because walking around with signs isn't going to stop this.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about a strongly worded sign with like eight bullet points?

[–] Nico_198X@europe.pub 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But that won't make people on the internet chuckle

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Psh, you haven't seen my signs!

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Their allies? White Racists, neo-Nazis, everyone who wants a dictatorship and the Russians. All of them are worthless shits.

Don't forget the ultra rich, as much as the ultra rich would like you to forget them.

[–] Lvdwsn@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Hmm who has well documented ties to this administration and would be happy with the downfall of America as a world power? This is one I’ll have to Putin the ol’ think tank for a while

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

Their allies are white white supremacists who don't consider you people and because Americans have a severe case of invertebrate-osis respectively.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Because Americans are cowards

Well, ask yourself. Why haven't you done any of these things you're asking.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Did you ask yourself why I would post those activities on a public forum first?

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The courage of your convictions, a call to action for others, leading by example.

There are many reasons you might decide to.

Look, you seem to be Australian. If you'd like to join 50501 and dive from there I won't stop you. But I get it. You are urging me because I am here. Believe me, there is preparation and movement, Portland is steeped in madness they are resisting so hard, we started late in all states, but its there. Far more than any socials, including Lemmy, show.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not urging you to do shit, tbh.

But I'm tired of all the hand-wringing from people who are waiting for "someone else" to do something.

I'm sorry I didn't realise you've already torched a dozen wasps nests I didn't know about.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You dont even live here. Go hand wring about your laws that allowed Collective Shout to fuck adult games the planet over.
