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!

For those who haven't figured this out yet:
They're going to cancel or seriously disrupt the midterms, and they will go door to door, with ICE, based on your known political affiliation, after they declare anyone who disagrees with them to be a terrorist.
Be ready.
Hopefully they fuck it up and turn on each other before it gets to that point.
But... do you really wanna just rely on that happening?
Midterms are the warm up for 2028. They are setting the stage to control congress so they can take the election if their other thefts fail. We will see whom their leader ends up being in that election.
They want to get that extreme this midterm, they don't have the support yet. Not that they won't try and have some limited success.
That fact that this comment doesn't have a single downvote is a terrifying reality check all on its own.
None of this is hyperbole anymore.
Anyone who can leave the Untied States should. Why doesn't everyone realize this? If I were there, I'd be desperately searching for any way out. I actually get upset when anyone talks about who they hope becomes the next president cause it means they haven't accepted the reality yet that the Untied States is a dictatorship and American democracy as we know it is over.
I would be moving to Canada ASAP... but I am currently crippled, don't have a car.
I'm doing physical therapy every day, at home of course, we don't have healthcare for the poor here, unless you want to owe 50k to 100k to a hospital/insurance...
...its working, i am getting back more capability... but I am not yet at the point where I could shove all my shit into a U Haul or something, not without extreme pain and likely undoing months of progress / re-crippling myself.
I just don't have enough money saved up, I don't think, don't have a passport, do at least have my brith certificate... as best I understand, I'd have to apply for asylum.
Theoretically, I should still be able to continue to recieve US Disability benefits even if I am abroad, and that should be enough for me to survive in like a studio in a small / medium sized town...
...but... at this point, that could basically randomly change without warning, if some random executive order from Trump or new policy from the SSA just decides that those not residing in the US now don't actually get any money.
Theoretically that would be illegal, but lol, not like our laws are holding together very well these days.
And from what I have heard, on youtube at least, from following a few Canadians... it would seem there is, at best, mixed sentiment as to whether or not Canada should do some kind of mass amnesty type thing, for fleeing Americans.
I dunno, you got opinions or maybe advice around all that?
I'm keen to get the fuck out, but I also don't want to be a burden.
I suppose I could just pack my most important shit into a large backpack / rucksack or something, take a long haul bus... wouldn't be the first time I've lived out of a backpack, but dear christ, my last run of that literally nearly killed me.
I heard Republicans walked out of the House, en masse, not seen since the Great Depression. Which now that I think about it, that was nearly 100 years ago!
