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!

Dude, i read every word, and you are 100% correct. Im wordy too, but you're a good writer, and your arguments are coherent and supported with sources, logic, and critical thinking, so no need for apologies.

It's only gonna be trolling till the first few people get killed by MAGA like Proud Boys, or ICE. Mark my words.

He's also contemplating paying compensation to the Jan6 Traitor/Terrorists. The most proven, violent, battle-tested MAGATraitors will now be on his payroll. These MAGA Psychos viciously attacked COPS for hours, they'll go through peaceful protesters like a tank through butter.

The 2026 mid-terms are shaping up to be a bloodbath, and he can't afford to lose his already thin majorities in Congress. If the Dems take even one chamber, they will have control of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers (if they can be courageous and bold enough to use them). He can't afford to leave it up to rigging, especially with so many states and districts across the country.

Next summer (2026) will be the biggest protest season in American history. Every city will be having multiple protests over multiple issues, and by then the MAGA Nazis will have done so much ugly stuff to America that the citizens will be seething.

HitlerPig will encourage his paid ~~Brownshirts~~ er, RedHats to infiltrate the protests and instigate violence. Then he will mobilize the authorities, and even the military, to quell the violence with even more ferocious violence. Imagine Tiananmen Square, but in cities across America.

Around mid- to late-October, when its too close to the election for the courts to intervene, he will declare Martial Law and suspend the Mid-Term Election, until peace can be restored, which will never happen because he controls the violence.

Once we miss the mid-terms, he'll just ignore any SCOTUS decisions, and breeze right past the 2028 election, and anyone who hasnt already given up hope, will.

I also think he will quit NATO, and join a new alliance with Russia, China, North Korea, etc., and will give Alaska to Russia, and Taiwan to China, as a show of good faith, because they promised that he could have Canada and Greenland. He's that fucking stupid.
