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!

Trump literally said, ""Take the guns first, go through due process second," in his first term.
Fascist authoritarian dictators usually don't let private gun ownership exist.
And at the very least they'll try to take them away from liberals.
While true, Project 2025 seems to want to go all-in on guns everywhere with strong support from the NRA. But you’re right, historically this meant only guns for loyalists.

Remember what the GOP did when the Black Panthers armed themselves in CA in the 60s/70s?
NRA? You mean the gun organization funded by the Russians? No doubt the Russians would want to keep an open flow of weapons to militias and extremist groups, like America did to the Middle East. Not only is it an effective way to destabilize things, but it creates a channel for arms dealers/manufacturers to make a fortune from the proxy-war hellscape that the country will descend into. What happened to the Middle East from circa 1970-present is what's about to happen to the United States... From a model society to a bombed out ruins sprawling with militants.
But hey, at least a few people stand to profit. Not like Americans can't see this coming and still have the ability to stop it...
