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!

And then when there's a civil war over douche face and his backers attempts to assert absolute control, I'll be shocked, absolutely shocked i tell you!
I don't think either side is prepared for the horrors of a civil war. You've got Meal Team 6 and armchair weekend warriors, but an active civil war is something few could possibly conceive and understand the full ramifications of.
Im not asking for one. I dont even want one. But states aren't just going to lay down and take this power grab, and they havent been since Trump admin came back into office.
I'm well aware of how devastating a civil war would be. But, I dont think this administration is giving people a choice. They're basically telling people to shut up and take what the Trump admin is doing and like it. That doesn't go over very well when the consequences of that are an authoritarian government intent on making every single person's life worse. Our system is crumbling before our eyes, and sadly we all just have to sit here and watch it happen bcz a few countries and Fox News have been spreading propaganda around our country for a few decades.
This is a culmination of a plan thats been in motion since at least the 80s.
Optimistic of you to think people will fight back
They already are...have you not been keeping track of the news?
