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!

Repeating his contention that Mrs. Clinton wanted to abolish the right to bear arms, Mr. Trump warned at a rally here that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice.
If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.

He's consistently in favor of his political opponents being threatened with violence, it's one of the few things he's been consistent about in his life

Did you just mock somebody/somegroup by appending part of the Fibonacci sequence 😅
I get the "!!1!eleven!!" thing (presumably the 23 bit is just mocking some ridiculousness or vapidity...?) but I find it very amusing to read your comment that way. Call it comic relief if you like 🤷
Yeah, it was not intentional, just a representation of the keyboard smashing that might go with that kind of comment, but I'll take the accidental Fibonacci lol 😂
Any sympathy I had for this assclown dried up ages ago.
“Look, you should just turn down the violent rhetoric!”
-people who’ve been espousing violent rhetoric since 2008
One side cares about civility and condemns advocating violence, so the other side exploits that every chance they get.

Maybe the first time we wished a Republican would have leaned just a little more to the right.
I remember after this all the Celebrities and Politicians talking AGAINST Donald Trump's VIOLENT RHETORIC!
JK I don't!
You should put the date in the title.
Fair point. Done.
There was also that time he said McConnell had a "DEATH WISH" because he voted for some stuff trump didn't like.
We go high, they go low.
Today on Facebook, a big trumpist just admitted to me that he just wants to see his political opponents suffer (even die), and sent me a gore image.
I'm in a gun club and the WhatsApp chat had, surprise surprise, a rich, fashy vet immediately saying that the attempt meant that all supporters of the Democrats were now "enemy combatants" and should be treated like enemy combatants were back when "they" were deployed. Fucking psychotic, brownshirt ass. I know this makes me sound like him, but people like him have one solution and it's measured in six foot increments of rope.

Tell them you want exactly the same for Trump and watch them get triggered like the little snowflake they are.

And surely we can find old tweets condemning it from all the Trumpanzees screeching about "political hatred" today, right? Right?
Wow you know what trump has aged a lot in 8 years. I guess that’s a long time n shit huh
Probably a tougher 8 years if you were already geriatric at the start of those 8 years.

They are armed and organized. Are you?

Stochastic terrorism should be addressed when it occurs. The duopoly gave him a pass on it and he keeps using it.
This thread really shows the biggest crime Trump has committed so far: dividing the country.
For all the rethoric in this (and thousands of other threads) were people from both sides say the other side should die, everyone seems to forget that they're talking about their families, their friends, their neighbours. Anyone in doubt about how a civil war actually looks like should maybe ask Yugoslavia how well that worked out for them. Yeah i know, it no longer exists.
How many innocent civilians were murdered?
One should also think about what will happen to the US when other countries (hello China, hello Russia) will take advantage of the US being in a civil war. Land grabbing, US land grabbing and hell, WWIII aren't off the table.
To be clear, I'm veryuch against Trump, against the religious extremists and their takeover of the US government, but people on both sides need to calm down and look at their leaders. Right wing leadership is fucking evil and as far as I am concerned can all burn in a fire, but were talking about a fairly small group that pushes all this.
Stop fantasizing about murdering everyone following right wing media, most of them have been brainwashed, are dumb, or just plain angry and once all this is over, they'll still be your family, they'll still be your neighbor, they'll still be your friends, they'll still be there, and you can't murder them all, that is not how anything works.
Start working on bridging the gap, start working today on reaching out and pulling those angry fixkers back into the fold. Show them we're not the enemy.
Their leadership, again, is a different story.
