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!

If you look at other countries, even comfier European ones, you should at least be at the mass protests stage. It’s funny how much the US generally mocks the French but they wish they had a spine like that.
Marching steadily on the carbon-copy path of Nazi Germany for over a decade has only brought people to attending organized protests that the adminstration can just ignore(even better, Trump posted that AI video of him in a crown dumping shit on protestors). Ya’ll won’t ever get guillotines if even this only seems to result in mild agitation among the general populace.
While I agree that things should have escalated past the mild protests we are seeing the military being brought into cities indicates pedo Antoinette anticipates riots and civil unrest. In his first administration we did see rioting around the BLM movement and in the sixties we had massive civil unrest but we also have been living with the consequences of COINTELPRO when any left leaning group had their leaders systematically assassinated by the state. Even in my lifetime I’ve seen the left leaning occupy wall street movement hunted down by the authorities and all the neonazi groups basically promoted and coddled by the government. Our system is also evil and precise in the way it disenfranchises and disempowers based on race and sex. Our worker protections are nonexistent and you and your family will basically die on the streets if you’re ejected from the system.
And the police and military don’t clash with civilians in other countries? They bring those people in because they’re scared little babies, not because the US people will actually do anything.
We have had a lot of civil unrest. Also our media is all billionaire owned so it’s not surprising that it doesn’t get a lot of coverage until it serves an evil agenda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_civil_unrest_in_the_United_States
That’s not really the gotcha you think it is. Yea, the US weny from fighting with guns for labour rights to letting the gig-economy chew them up and sometimes they protest until they get tired and go home.
Hope not but I guess we will see but it sure looks like facism is enslaving the entire world
