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

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!

It wasn't worse. They're already at rock bottom. They're literally lying to everyone and nothing is being done about it.
I'd wager in two or three years, if nothing is done, the USA will cease to exist as a single, unified sovereign nation. If things keep going the way they're going, a collapse is inevitable. A country made up with people so viciously opposed to reality cannot survive.
This is the Russian plan. It was never about Trump. It was about payback for break up of the USSR.
United we stand, divided we fall.
They’ve made us divided: not MAGA, but the gov’ts abroad who have exported the subversion of a debatable reality. Look at Vladislav Surkov’s strategies and how they are here, in America. You don’t debate your enemy, you debate the notion of truth.
Trump 1 introduced the term “alternative facts,” and now these people sit in a room talking about an ideology as bad, not a formal group or person.
We've always been divided. Natives against colonizers. White against black. Slavers against abolitionists. Urban against rural. "Communists" against "real Americans."
Unity had always been a lie, a story, an excuse for a slow compromise that keepa the landowners ahead.
I'm not sure we have been this divided in decades. Maybe since the Civil War.
We aren't even at "Registered Republican Bathroom Only" levels of division yet. (Incidentally, sundown towns still exist in this country)
The Civil War never really ended because we never actually dealt with the traitors. We compromised on slavery and now we have more slaves than we ever did when a man could own another man, we just need to throw them in jail first. John Brown was right.
Capitalism vs everyone who isn't rich.
You have your timeline wrong. They’re hellbent on stopping the midterms. As soon as protests, civil disobedience, and malicious compliance stop, we are locked into an authoritarian regime. You are here. Now.
There is still a far to optimistic view that there will be midterms that will totally change the landscape.
The current path is clearly leading to the insurrection act being in full force well before midterms, and the midterms themselves will be a fraudulent sham, only to be "allowed" to pacify the common folk.
The US does not even realize it already has the razzia's the nazi's held where people, innocent or not, are forcibly dragged from their homes and shot at in the streets.
As soon as Trump won, I knew we were on the trajectory of no more elections.
They keep telling everyone exactly what they are doing and no one believes them. Trump flat out said this would be the last election for us. And no one believed him except his pending administration.
I think a lot of folks who voted for him actually wanted that.
To own the libs once and for all by crowning a pedo TACO king.
The more sensical approach is what Bernie has to say about it. Good talk with Trevor Noah this week.
He gets deep on the corporate too. Did you know, at the top, it’s down to 3 equity groups owning everything, including most of our legislators? Blackrock is one of them.
I didn't know that, I'll have to find the interview and listen this morning.
It didn't occur to me that they would lie about the results of the mid terms. It's like NKs elections with only one option.
I sincerely hope the smart ones get out to safety in another country.
Hold my beer.
