When he lost the election to Biden, I went from disappointed that he wouldn't ever see equal justice, to disappointed that not only is he running again, but somehow has a chance of winning again.

At this point, I'm just stocking up on ammo.

I’ve been saying since trump was elected the first time, it will get really ugly before this can be put behind us. I thought Jan6th was that point; unfortunately that wasn’t low enough. I don’t know how things are going to play out, but I don’t think we’ve hit the sobering bottom and am preparing for the worst.

We still have people praising those who fought to keep slavery in the civil war. Trump and other Republicans just did a wishdotcom nazi rally.

This shit will not be behind us within our lifetimes.

The hardon for 2nd amendment folks never consider that I get to protect myself, my property, and my rights, from them.

I just wanna be left alone, man. I keep to myself, I keep my head down, I don't stir the pot by placing political signs or anything. I don't have anything to prove to anyone. But likewise, I'm going to protect my rights as well.

I am in the demographic that will be empowered and protected under a Trump presidency and it makes me sick. I cannot sit idly by and let the rights, safety, and freedoms I will continue to enjoy be stripped from all the other groups under Trump that aren't white men. “The only thing nec­es­sary for the tri­umph of evil is for good men to do noth­ing.”

I hope I don't get lynched for saying this on lemmy, but ... amen brother. :D

For as long as the current constitution holds up and the judicial system doesn't become more partial. In the MAGA vision, only cisgendered, straight, right-wing, Christian, white men would be allowed to defend themselves.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
