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!

Its a hard thing to come to terms with. Families are split in two To take up arms means we are doing it against our own family members. In my case it would be my father and brother.
Your father and brother are Nazis.
If they aren’t afraid of you, you’re a coward or you’re complicit. There isn’t any grey area with fascism.
Ah yes fear and division.
The natural enemy of fascism.
Yes please do nothing instead and explain your strategy from a Salvadoran gulag in the future.
Yep those are the only options.
Prove yourself an enemy or sit idle.
A profound lack of nuance.
Sowing community and peeling undecideds, Sabotaging, undermining, informing, rearing confusion and exploiting divisions that exist within the power structure, encouraging idleness in the enemy even.
The enemies of fascism and ways to resist it are myriad. And yet you can only imagine a sword to meet a sword.
And frankly; there's no faster road to that gulag. Or more likely an abrupt meaningless death that accomplishes nothing.
Rage and cast aspersions from your safe nest, blame anyone who hasn't given up on everyone that's on the other side. Reduce the work of ages to a simple numbers game. Throw away every weapon that seems too complex or involved, deny all clemency and revoke the rights of others to offer it.
Surely that's what we need. Another great war will kill the demon.
You wrote a big reply and there are people somewhere who will read it. Somewhere for sure, good day.
I accept your surrender.
