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!

get used to it, it's only going to get worse from here on out, as if that seems impossible, it isn't. now that trump has been re-elected, there's no surprise this time around, and after he was rightly targeted in criminal probes these last 4 years, he's going to take the gloves off, and come for owners, producers, and journalists of anything he deems disloyal. what we thought we were sure of about the united states and how it should operate is quickly coming to an end. this is what fascism means.
A depressing take that I 100% share but wish I didn't.
The only way I'm going to be able to deal with this bullshit is to tune out or numb myself to it in some way
Yup.
Ignorance is bliss.
The next 4 years minimum are going to be a non-stop onslaught of depressing and outright embarrassing headlines. I plan on cutting all news pipelines out of my feeds at the end of this calendar year.
Yeah. I understand. I wish I could do that too but realistically I'm probably just going to pay half as much attention as I traditionally have
Yup.
Fools think there's a magical reset button ever 4-8 years if we regret our decisions.
I implore those fools to pick up a history book and find out why that isn't a guarantee. But we know they never will.
By the end of whatever this is workers in America will have less power and our institutions will be weakened, if not destroyed.
Americans are about to find out what actual suffering is.
protip: no matter where you live, you're about to find out too. no fault of your own, completely our fault, but it's coming sure as night follows day. the inter-connectivity of the worlds only western superpower is about to be made abundantly clear to everyone thinking this is only an American problem.
