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

Time for the still sane Americans to decide if they still want a bunch of pedo's and pedoprotectors to represent them. Decide if this might just be the final straw before springing to real action. Maybe they can now see that these people are so shameless, corrupt, criminal and whiteout morals, that one 9 to 5 protest every month or so isn't going to impress these shitbags.
Lol IDK how you've lived through US politics in the past 10 years if you think there is literally anything that could turn these morons away from Trump. The Epstein files could be released and say "Donald Trump raped 30 teen girls on Epstein Island" and it wouldn't change a thing.
They'd remark on how restrained he was, 'he only had sex with 30 children, the Democrats murder hundreds of children every day to collect their adrenochrome.'
Yeah I know. I wasn't talking about his supporters, I agree they are too far gone.
The insane outnumber them, and they made the decision a long time ago, the answer was yes.
It's not that the insane outnumber them, it's that the military has crazy firepower and is controlled by trump loyalists, and they are willing to open fire on citizens. The sane people know that.
The only hope is infiltrating the military i guess?
The US fell into this nonsense long before Trump took it to full, unashamed facism. The people of that country had lots of time and opportunity to just simply not vote for the objectively evil people and even right now currently have the ability to vote.
The amount of gerrymandering it would take to make a 10% minority pull off a win is so far beyond what we have today. But it’s not a 10% minority, it’s over 70 million people who handed Trump the popular vote. They could simply have just not done that but their hate and fear mean they’re more than happy to support such a wildly cruel party over and over again. It’s not the military that’s forcing them to vote for dear leader, not yet anyway, and there have been decades of opportunity to sort this shit out before this point.
No weak excuses, that shithole country has forced its way into everyone else’s business and needs to shape the fuck up.
Tbf I didn't say anything about it being a 10% minority. But trump won with less than 50% of the popular vote which we know included voter suppression and straight doctoring votes, so I think the people who didn't vote for him do outnumber those who did, but yes, it is definitely well over 70M people.
I'm not making excuses at all, something must be done, but what do we expect? Their cops have insane fire power and will open fire on civilians, so I guess we just have to hope some people are willing to martyr themselves and commit suicide by cop?
I hope for a revolution, but I understand why people might be afraid to stand up.
Isn't that why you have the second amendment in the first place? So that you can rise up against the state? Does not compute.
Me?
