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!

When this madness is over, the next administration should outlaw the Heritage Foundation somehow. They clearly have proven to be actively working against the interests of the American people.

[–] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

You are part of the problem. There won't be a next administration. Where the hell have you been?

Not just Heritage. There's so many of them it's hard to keep track. Sourcewatch.org tries to. But you can definitely start with the cosigners of Project 2025 and all the companies (especially media companies) that those people are on the boards of. (I think that should catch things like Rumble, Daily Wire, Victory Network, etc.)

We can even crowd fund the Bukele bribe.

i'm definitely not the only person who calls him Bukkake, right?

Ha. You think this is just going to end one day

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 day ago

Dictatorships always end badly. But it can take decades.

In the case of the US, the closest analog - the Third Reich - lasted 12 years. I'm hoping the American Reich won't last nearly as long but I'm bracing for about a decade.

You're already quitting before the game is even up. Stop being a fucking coward.

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago

Not murican, not my problem. Maybe you muricans should stop being such cowards!

oh, it will, but i think we both agree that it won't be in november 2028
