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!

Whelp, maybe don't vote/ hold your vote for an insurrectionist rapist twice indicted conman bankrupt grifter next time. But I guess it's all the Dems fault.

If the Dems didn't want this they shouldn't have dressed that way /s

And yet his approval rating is holding steady.

Losing your job to own the libs, I guess

Yeah I think people on Lemmy are delusional about how much people are willing to stick with Trump. Opinion polls are staying pretty high, close to 50% even after the tariff nonsense and Venezuelan concentration camps. Trump's approval rating cannot go below 30% because roughly a third of the population are completely incapable of finding any fault in their God Trump. The fact that so many people who aren't in this camp are still sticking by him is a sign of how corrupt and vile the American people are more than anything. It's hard to continue to love my fellow Americans when they keep being so stupid.

"If it's this bad now, just imagine how many jobs we would have lost with Kamala!"

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fewer. Lets face it the democrats are interested in maintaining the system as it was. This whole cluster fuck is all on the republicans. Not just trumps cucks but the silent spinless cowards in the senate and house of representatives. I did find it heartening that few broke from this madness recently.

The person you replied to used these strange symbols to show they were speaking from someone else's point of view and not expressing their own opinion.

Nothing gets past you.

Funny thing is, when they go to find another, they will be at the bottom of the pool, because education will matter when there are 1000 applicants who are equally qualified.

Well they always vote for the guy that’s [R]ight

The Fox News tells me that it's China's fault I lost my job!

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So, now that trump has made things worse and democrats have already thrown immigrants and trans people under the bus, which vulnerable minority is trump blaming next?

I'll paraphrase what Republicans Neo-Nazis say about minorities.

Kill the jobs and let supply side jesus sort them out.

Stopping fascism is a job!
