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!

It's not an opinion. It's happening, and there's independent groups from the top to the bottom being bankrolled to do it.

Can’t eliminate the threat without a list 🤷‍♂️

Commenting before reading, is this about Project 2025? Cause that's not something that needs an opinion article, it's literal marching orders

Edit: oh look, it's about Project 2025. Yet again, mass media demonstrates that it has no way to talk about a disruption to the status quo. This shouldn't be an opinion piece, it should be too news every week. Oh, and it's not about Trump, it's about the conservative movement. They assume that Trump will win, but even if he doesn't Project 2025 is still going to happen (assuming a R wins)

So many photoes of him showing how old he really is. It wasn't like that a year ago, I believe. The blood is in the water, and this clay-legged idol is about to get rekt.

Doesn't he look tired?

good, won't even have to go overseas to kill fascists

Yes, I'm sure German and Spanish people were similarly thrilled that they no longer had to go to Italy to be killed by fascists 🙄

for Americans, killing fascists is like picking up power mushrooms in Mario World

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Only those Americans who have lost all contact with reality without becoming fascists themselves as a result.
