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!"

If Americans don't step up right now and end this madness, Trump is going to make Hitler look like a saint in the history books...and he will turn America into Dante's most depraved level of Hell.
Wake the fuck up!
The whole world is watching all of you and Americans are just letting him get away with all of this.
Don't you people have laws, or people willing to enforce them? This would never fly in any other 1st world country, and most 3rd world countries would be fighting harder right now than almost all Americans are. What happened to Americans?
When did Americans become so spineless?
Is this what America wants? Is Trump not the actual problem? Is America the problem?
The world is watching you, and is so disappointed in you right now. Do something.
Hey, thanks for the input. Most of us are still trying to stay no violent and use the American democratic system via the midterm.
He’s going to try to fuck with that, but I think we need to see democracy fail at the state level ballot boxes before we have to say non violence isn’t working.
There have been many protests, many people have been accused or detained because of these, many Americans are doing things it’s just that America is so fucking huge it’s hard to see them all and the main media is definitely under reporting.
If your only definition for America to have woken up is to impeach and remove Trump or begin some kind of rebellion well fine that’s your definition, but I think it’s very wrong to say everyone in the country is just sitting around twiddling their thumbs.
Yeah, something that is often missed in all this "literally all Americans are fucking worthless pieces of shit" rhetoric is that most people just aren't capable enough to raise a fucking army, coordinate coups, or plan assassinations. But I know a great many Americans who understand what they can do, and that is protecting their neighbors, feeding their communities, and fighting for their families. Many people are sacrificing a great deal to ensure the safety of those who are otherwise targeted. The one's that aren't were never going to do anything to begin with, but to say nothing is being done is an insult to those who are working tirelessly to help people survive this shit every day.
They can get that way.
You think you're going to have fair midterms? Really? Really???
Read past the guy's 2nd sentence.
He won't, this type of person just wants to dump on USA citizens because it gets their rocks off.
The rest of the first world is complicit, but also good at theatre.
that was the motto in early 2025 when the ICE raids started. It's too late for that. I think the best bet, now, is for the USA to implode. I'd rather we try to mitigate the harm of their military, abroad; and usher in the refugees.
Americans have always been spineless
They were alright in WWII but that's really about it. Plus they fucked that up right at the end by unnecessarily dropping 2 atomic bombs on civilian populations.
Nah, the Russians did the heavy work.
100%
Tankies still spreading obvious bullshit here I see
