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!

Ding ding ding! This is the right answer folks. US citizens will be lucky to get fair elections (if at all) for the foreseeable future. There is no counterweight to what lies ahead, the doors to hell have been opened and no one is coming to save you. If you are in the US, you have the following choices: leave, survive (read: assimilate or hide), or fight.
I'll fight. There's a line that I draw: if they start deporting legal immigrants I will be a domestic terrorist, just like the GOP
Strange, I can't find a picture of the banner that said exactly that at cpac. Just like the GOP said, nah I'm just kidding
Hey man, you do what you have to do. Good luck either way!
If you're wealthy and worth a shit you can leave. No country on earth worth moving to will accept my worthless factory worker ass...
I just watched a video about "easiest countries for an American to move to" and was infuriated... I was expecting countries with low standards for acceptance except this is all it was:
1)digital nomad and retirees
2)digital nomad and retirees
3)digital nomad and retirees
4)digital nomad and retirees
5)digital nomad and retirees
...for fucks sake those people already have the world to choose from... Guess I'll just suffer.
I'm sorry, it mega sucks and unfortunately you can only pick from the other two remaining options. If you're not part of the targeted minorities or vocally a part of the opposition, here are some tips on assimilation:
Essentially, start studying what other people did to survive under similarly oppressive regimes. The change won't happen overnight, but if this is going the way I think it's going, your access to options will become increasingly limited so do what you can now to get ready.
Alternatively, wait until it becomes clear that you're a political target, travel somewhere where you can get refugee status and claim asylum once you're there. You don't want to leave this until it's too late, and it'll get increasingly harder to do, but there's no way to tell yet what the trigger could be.
US Passport cards are really handy for that. all the identity power of a passport book, but in a card you can keep in your wallet. Anyone who "looks foreign" at all should get one and carry it with you at all times. You shouldn't have to, but you should anyway.
Nah. I'm just gonna get louder. Might even fly massive Harris flags
I appreciate the advice!
