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!

If they throw out the rule of law like this there's no reason why anyone should follow the law at all. If Trump and his allies don't have to follow the law why should anyone else?
If the only thing that motivates these people is violence that's what they'll get.
If being captured means a death sentence then there's no reason to peacefully surrender. In fact, it is your human right to fight for your life in self defense.
If you make peaceful revolution impossible you make violent revolution inevitable. The billionaires should remember that all their wealth is built upon the trust the world has in the US's stability. If that goes away then so does the majority of their wealth.
Yeah good luck with that. There is a reason that the communists/socialists were among the first that the Nazis murdered.
I would recommend learning about fascism, and how it is able to sustain itself (in the short term, at least).
Talk like this in public in a year or two will likely get you disappeared
People have children. They need to be fed and have healthcare. You don’t get either without a job.
This is how terror works.
Why do you think they want everyone uneducated and saddled with more kids than they want/can afford?
Exactly.
This is me. I have a wife and a young child. I want to fight but i have to protect my family first.
