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!

Your comment seems to imply that you think an armed uprising is the solution you're suggesting. Is that the case?
Nice try FBI
Edit: it's literally a meme
Not FBI, but if you think it's wrong to be mindful about seditious comments on the internet in this day and age, I'd say you have a tenuous connection to reality.
Opposing traitor trump is the furthest thing from seditious there is. It's the only thing any true patriot can do.
While I agree, unfortunately whoever is in charge gets to decide what's "seditious" means. Right now we have the freedom (though many of us are probably on lists, which will be passed on to the next admin) to speak up against these fascists.
But if/when they take power? That's when there could be a reckoning. I, personally, am not a fan of violent rhetoric, but I wouldn't be surprised if my outspoken anti-fascist ideals would put me in the crosshairs when the fascist GOP truly gains control.
Personally? If it comes to Europe pre-WW2 levels of outright, blatant fascism spreading uncontrollably in the US, I would rather die standing up for what I believe in, than to use my white, middle class privilege and knowledge of how Evangelicals think to hide amongst them.
I'm pretty sure the FBI isn't so stupid that they can't tell whether or not someone is talking about armed uprising until someone else asks them for clarification.
Or is this one of those "you can't arrest me if you tell me you're a cop" urban legends?
Storm the Capitol! No… wait
