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!

There were warnings at least a year before the election, many people laid out what is to come, it was barely taken serious, mostly ignored. And even now the media and government types are doing mostly a half assed "we're stunned he's doing this, but oh well, another day another decree"
It is too late, there will come an indefinite next term of Trump's hegemony, and when he dies his son will take over as new/official king. He himself might not want to take up the title soon but when his next in line is ready it will start to be brandished about.
The writing is on the wall with how he is already tearing up any legal restrictions laid on him.
The current "proposals" for a 3rd term are only there to get people acquainted with it under the guise of "let him finish the job" but it will get hammered through, objections will not be tolerated.
I was working in D.C., on Ukraine-related issues specifically, and STILL couldn't get people to believe Trump was in Russia's pocket. Despite first-hand experience with these worthless shits. That was almost 10 years ago. I just gave up trying to convince people, but hey, how nice to be proven right, I guess. I didn't need it, I already fucking knew. It's all just depressing to watch.
I can't tell you how many times I was told I was being dramatic and/or crazy. All I have is a bunch of fuck you's for all the people who would not listen to me. I'm so angry seeing "in four years" statements when I know damn well there will be no more legit voting. I am still wanting to slap everyone for being so fucking dense to the reality. I don't think usa is worth saving at this point, everyone is just too fucking stupid and I'm tired of swimming upsteam.

Political opponents are already being targeted.
They're just going to ramp it up.
Its crazy that the republicans even at this point is not impeaching him. He has definitively ignored a court order. The only lever left is impeachment to retain our system.
Its crazy that the republicans even at this point is not impeaching him.
Why? They don't give a shit about the laws. With Trump in power, they stay on his good side, they have run of the place.
The USA we all knew is now dead. There is no coming back from this. If you have money in US funds or US companies, move it. It won't be worth anything after civil war break out - and it will.
Crazy that we're watching the death of an empire in real time. Would be kinda interesting if it weren't for the needless human suffering and that whole existential threat to civilisation thing.

We've all been understanding this even while Walz et al were talking about how they might run in a few years.
Only argument is I see no way trump trusts don jr with even being a figurehead.
They're gonna put in Barron because he knows how to turn on a computer. That's a step of competency above his other sons. Also, they'll want the youngest one in for the longest-lived dictatorship.
Further, Barron has made inroads in the right wing podcast ecosystem. The other Trump boys are still living in the 90's, they'll want someone who understands the modern era and can influence it.

Democrats won't do a thing. They are in on it. They have been ratcheting towards oligarchy little by little.
They need to be replaced.
Most of them, but there are ones like him who still have integrity. Don't toss them aside.
AOC and Bernie are on tour. Walz might be ok, but he’s still on probation until he shows true spine, not just very good rhetoric.
I would very much like to know of other Federal office holders we can count on. I am serious, not baitin’. Looking to find some hope and figure out who to boost or help.
