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!

The LGBTQ populace will be eradicated, it will most likely be the first target they go for, after the immigrants, prioritized over submitting women.
Anyone suspected of leaning towards that "lifestyle" will be seen as a possible subversive element, since it will not fit in their picture of family values.
There will come razzias dragging people out into the streets and "deporting" them to unknown destinations.
I can see them starting "McCarthyism" like councils to drum up fear and hatred.
The signs are already there with lgbtq'ers being fired by the government losing all pension benefits in trump's current decreed legislation.
I even have seen one wackjob being interviewed plainly stating gays should have no rights nor be able to have property...
And don't forget, in this day and age at least half of the population would delight in giving their neighbors intense problems if only because said neighbors had nicer flowers in their garden or some other trivial nonsense.
In Nazi Germany and the occupied countries there were massive amounts of collaborators terrorizing every community they were in and it had almost nothing to do with love for the Nazi's. For the US reporting deviant behavior will become the new threat of lawsuits... Heck, the government might even decide to reward such reporting.
You can see some guy saying that government should have the death penalty for gays back in The God Who Wasn't There documentary. I mean, that guy was happy to state it openly, for the cameras. This was 20 years ago, long before the likes of Taco gave them a permission structure to be their very worst.
"It would be the government that would be executing the homosexuals".
