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.

- 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.

C'mon all you snooty history and politics grad school students... Figure out a way! Show us how smart you guys are and such. Remember in highschool how smart you used to think you were compared to the other kids who brought lunch because they couldn't afford it? Now a bigger asshole is shooting at them. This is your chance! Your big break! Demonstrate your clear intellectual superiority. I'm one of those poor kids and if it wasn't for things I design you wouldn't have that little shiny square of pixels thar you're reading this on. So raise up you mofos! The entire world needs you to grow balls. Bernie went to jail a few times for the good of his community. What are you gonna do? Go join up with the motorcycle and flag guy and show us real leadership.
Otherwise, please oh please let's see motorcycle and Mexican flag guy as a member of Congress. I can imagine him now. Bandana and all. Looking cholo. "Chale! I don't like this bill, I ain't signing nothing!"
If you went to school to be a politician, you owe this society a solution to remove Trump and his entire family and possy from politics. Grow balls and pay it forward!
Fascists only leave power one way
LA is also a good opportunity to say: This and this and this high ranking officer failed and will be replaced (by a loyalist).
Not even his hold on power has to be threatened. This is just people he thinks are yucky. Except for the underage females…they will get an exception.
Trump needs to watch Civil War
Bold of you to assume he would learn anything
He should be made to participate in one.
He is gearing up for it
This country has already crossed the Rubicon after the events of January 6th in my opinion. What’s we saw in LA was the declaration of war from this administration on its own people. We need to unite, fight, and stand against this tyrannical regime. If the White House is afraid of us now just you wait you pos’s.
I worry that if it reaches a point where he's genuinely worried about being deposed, he wouldn't hesitate to drop nukes on American civilians.
I do agree but with the nukes thing idk I could see Donny declaring martial law and suspending elections till the “protesters” are gone and when that doesn’t work then it will get worse, if we allow it too.
Remember historically successful resitances don't meet the enemy on an open front. They harrass and kill individuals. Soldiers that are alone, at home, and at the bar have historically been targets
Im trying to imagine being an american warcrimer being exposed to this, stuff like french and dutch and eastern european partisans pulled in world war two, and i dont think im even getting a full picture of how much it would suck to be them.
And I think it would suck a lot. Like, even the co workers of a guy who got lured out on tinder or something and butchered would be fucked the hell up. And since everything has so much of the same stuff as home-all the traffic signs and most of the big chain stores etc, all the people look pretty much like the ones at home, there wouldn't really be any way to heal from the trauma.
Like, if you watch sargent bob get splattered all over you and got some nasty burns from an ied in front of the wal mart on mlkjr blvd in los angeles across from a poorly greebled 5over1, and you went home, i dont think you'd be cool going past the wal mart on mlk jr blvd in Tallahassee or whatever shit hole they fished hypothetical baby storm trooper you out of, or living in a poorly greebled 5over1. Doubly so if the guy who did it had been in the same frat as your father in law, and you saw pictures of him in some family photo album years later.
Even small crap would echo out for decades. They would kind of be 'over' as people.
Im not sure i would have any sympathy, but damn, that's an ugly fucking outcome. Really hoping enough of them have enough of a conscience to not press the metaphorical big red button, and we dont end up either there, or Dachau.

That’s a lot of nazis.
been saying it since 2021, the US will fall into a civil war. you have a radicalized right with too many armed militias to count and a liberal left which don't possess the firepower to fight back. add ethnic diversity, vast wealth inequality and political ideologies to it to cast the flame.
There are too many self-interested factions with incompatible ideologies. I don't think we're entering into civil war or some collapse but the US will definitely enshittify at a steady pace for the rest of its existence as a nation-state.
Civilians are going to be gunned down. The media will paint the victims as violent criminals. In the burbs, Frank Freeway and Mary Minivan won't care, what's on Netflix?
Given the general reaction to Lugi I'd be more inclined to think they just paint themselves as the villain. People, not everyone but some, are realizing what's going on. They tell their friends and so on.
People that I know who never cared about politics are taking strong stances. I know it looks grim but I feel like the people are waking up and this is the reaction to that, but in this day and age you can't stop a large shift that easy.
It might start that way, but there's 3.8 million people in just L.A. proper, I think he's deployed too little for the instability of the situation but time will tell.
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been gone long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

He wants to machine gun Americans
Yeah, anyone thinking that there is even a remotely fair election in 2026 and again in 2028 really should come and take a look at that bridge in my backyard that I'm selling...
