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!

There are trends - this video explains it well. Trump will reshape America, he will cement power and make sure it's much easier for MAGA to succeed in future (making it easy, rigging the system, for them to be re-elected).
You are entering a new authoritarian regime in the USA.
Many folks voted Trump because they don't trust politicians, they don't trust Democracy, and now they get what they want - Democracy takes the biggest hit in history - and it's not because of Trump, it's a worldwide trend - there have been no new Democracies for a good many years already.
Project 2025 (which Trump laughably kept saying 'I never heard of it, I never read it' - he's laughing his tits off, he loves the lower class working Americans, he loves Americans with low education... because they just signed him into power thinking he gives a toss about them - he doesn't.
He hates them, he hates women, he's racist, misogynistic, a criminal and a liar.
Project 2025 is a right wing manifesto - opposing abortion and reproductive rights, even outlawing FDA approved safe drugs used in medical abortion... reviving 19th century extreme right wing laws.
Also opposing LGBTQ rights, opposing immigrants' rights, a racial manual for reorganising the entire federal government to serve a right wing agenda.
You will see now mass raids, deportations, an end to birthright citizenship, breaking up families and dismantling asylum.
Trump will also work to bring in power of warrantless surveillance - to be exploited to spy on Americans and their data... radically expanding executive power and making a mockery of American's idea of having freedom.
Trump will also use executive authority to limit First Amendment freedoms, he will have power to mute the press, also damaging fair replresentation in the voting process (he said - you won't have to vote again, with a wry grin on his face).
Watching Trump you can see he's TELLING YOU what he plans to do, laughing at you for being stupid, because he knows you don't take it seriously.
Basically, it's the fascist's playbook - and you voted this POS into power.
