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.

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!

MODERATORS
They were protest voting because Harris wasn't good enough, so now they hold their heads high that they didn't vote for the person who wasn't strong enough against genocide while the genocide accelerationist tries to speedrun the bad end.
He has torn apart in 100 days a country that took almost 250 years to build.
It's quite the achievement of malice and desperation.
I hate the orange shitgibbon. I absolutely detest that moving sack of human effluence, but you've got to give him credit where it's due. 250 years of diplomacy down the shitter in less than 100 days.
I can only hope that history will treat him the way he deserves to be treated and that his sycophants get the same.
All this talk of the Roman Empire and all has been because they intend to hand over all authority to Trump. Just like the Roman Senate did for Caesar.
Clearly the system has major flaws that got us here, such as not enabling the judicial branch to enforce laws, first past the post voting leading to a two party system, non-mathematical districting enabling gerrymandering, etc.
The biggest one though, is forming the country around capitalism, which enables people who seek power to obtain it via exploiting people for profit. The now-powerful then use their power to buy the government so that they could be allowed to exploit people further for more short term financial gain.
If the workers owned the businesses they worked for and if we had a hard wealth cap of $50m by taxing everything over that at 100%, no single person would be able to obtain that kind of power/influence to begin with.
They're coming for you! These concentration camps are for you!
80 Billion all itemized for your oppression and death.
And fuck Biden for not dismantling the existing apparatus for it while he had the chance.
who could possibly have seen this coming, except everyone. He literally is doing all the things he said he was gonna do. Surprised much?
And his cultists repeatedly say they're overjoyed with how horrible he's being. This country is absolutely cooked.
You guys should start actually rebelling.
Ok, so why didn't the majority vote against him then??
He's also racist. It's a slippery slope.
Because genocide or some shit
They should fucking do something.
They sure seem reluctant to do something about him though.
"This guy is a real threat, he's dangerous! He's a dictator, he shouldn't be in power!"
"Alright, you're the people, go do something about it."
"Ehhh..."
FTA:
For example, most Americans (61%) disagree that the federal government should place immigrants who are in the country illegally in internment camps guarded by the U.S. military until they can be deported.
Only 61%? Have I lost my fucking mind? This feels unbelievable to read.
61% disagree, 19% agree, 20% are worried that if they answer wrong they'll be next
I think the biggest thing I learned this last election is just how much of the country are HUGE pieces of shit. I thought there were maybe 15-20% that were on board with this Nazi shit. It's well over double that.
We fucked up during Reconstruction, and we fucked up again after WWII. Every single Confederate/Nazi should've been disposed of and never allowed to have any influence whatsoever. Instead the cancer has metastasized to every single organ in the body.
Sherman had the right idea.
I think your original estimate is correct, but the problem is that they've captured enough media outlets that sow doubt about right-wingers' true natures to make another 20-30% just uncertain enough to vote for the nazis.
Agree with your remediation, though. Confederates, Nazis, and J6ers are enemies of the state and should be forever barred from holding public office.

Right? Like I thought everyone agreed the Japanese internment camps was a dark spot on our history.
Guess it's just because we like the Japanese now?

WHAT!?!?! The guy that said he would be a dictator on day one is a dictator on day one!?!?! Who could have seen this coming!?!?!
Start running polls asking if they think the military should forcefully remove him. Get everyone on board and used to the idea
If they don't, someone else will
Take the MAGA cult out of the poll and it's more like high 60s to low 70s.
