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!

Doom and gloom on full blast today. I don't know if yall know but I lived through a Trump presidency. Nothing scares me anymore. All that fear has been replaced with annoyance.
I lived through the presidency as well. Quite well, in fact, because the stock market did well, so my investments gained a lot in value, I'm also a cis-white male, so I never felt really directly threatened by his rhetoric.
My issue isn't with my own immediate preservation. I saw what he did: stack the court with far-right justices who immediately rolled back individual rights (most notably abortion). I've also seen his (and their) opinion on climate change, and with him controlling the oval office there is no hope anything will be done in the following 4 years. I also watched as he tried to dismantle the state because it didn't allow him to basically do whatever he wanted unopposed. Now he has 4 years of experience, and people thinking for another 4 years, on how to more effectively dismantle the whole thing. I also watched his blatant corruption and lies on full display. And, most importantly, I watched as he tried to overturn an election he lost in order to illegally hold onto power.
I'm not being doom and gloom, I honestly think that our country would survive another Trump presidency and at the end he would step down, either on his own or by force, but I'm not willing to take the risk as there is far too much at stake.
But can you live through a Trump presidency where he can't run for a third term?
Oh he won't run for a 3rd term. He'll be president for life. And then the reign of the Trump dynasty will begin.
Finnis, fetch me musket.
I don't want to find out but if we're going to rip the bandaid off let's rip the bandaid off.
