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!

Getting 2016 vibes this time around...
Or it is just the vocal few that are more openly speaking out...
Polling and all, it will be in the history books come 2024.
If the history books aren’t burned.
Books were being banned and censored way before this decade.
Not sure what you are trying to point out that is not new...
Old problems are still problems. Pointing out their age does nothing to solve them.
Scaremongering...
Bogeyman Trump, does that work on people? Does it really scare them into voting for the blue team?
Oh I remember you. Yea, we the patriots sure as fuck aren't voting for the blatant republican anti-american fascists.
Awesome, nice to meet you again!
Yeah, it seems to work. Not sure how well it will work this time though.
We won't know the details until late 2024...
The details like how long Trump is going to spend in prison?
Not so sure if that will happen, yet.
Wealthy do have more resources.
Hope more presidents would get hitnwith war crimes as well!
Trump’s gonna burn the history books and replace them with McDonalds menus.
Seems to be just some good old fashioned scaremongering of the burning of books and such...
Honestly, this reminds me of 1968. Old president supports war unpopular with youth, people protest, the GOP choose a failed candidate from the previous election, y'know?
Trump also seems the type to actively sabotage any sort of peace process to boost his own campaign.
And he has that Southern Strategy down pat.
Reminds me of 1933: A right wing guy briefly in jail for a coup attempt got out early and became German chancellor.
This is by far the more accurate historical analogy.
Thanks for the info!
