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!

Can you smell it?

Can you smell the fascists who finally are beginning to feel safe turning against Trump?

Even Alex Jones is critical of Trump these days. He still considers him amazing and all that, but he says Trump doesn't go far enough in some of the rhetoric. I'm curious to see if this is a litmus test for future defections

It's weird to think that there are people who feel there is any distance left to go beyond the way Trump talks. Suppose there's always a bigger fash

I think you meant “any distance right to go”.

I left that joke out, hat on a hat; but yes

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

left it out, nice!

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Yep. Trump and his friends were extremely short sighted and never considered what would happen when it got away from them. Now everyone will be a RINO and the infighting begins. With luck it will distract and dilute the conservative vote.

Don't start calling JD Vance "President Vance". That's weird.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Vance will do what he's told and is non-retarded. I can see a play where Trump's cabinet colludes to 25th him, especially given recent events.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

His health suggests that won't be necessary. If they 25th him they'll have to deal with his angry cult. The one thing Trump will reliably do is whatever he can to make rich people richer. There's no need to off him. His ridiculous antics provide great cover for all the evil shit these people do in the background with Trump eating up all the media coverage.
