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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

When do we drag em from they’re billionaire-paid-for homes and show them democracy
But...French-style, right?
France might be the most democratic place on Earth right now. When the government does something unpopular, buckle the fuck up.
Let's say "French inspired". I'm sure we're creative enough to come up with something fun and unique. I'd argue using guns is the defacto American style, albeit not as much flare as a public guillotining.
Lynching is pretty standard fare for mob justice in the US. It even happened to white people.
"The Tuskegee Institute has recorded the lynchings of 3,446 Blacks and the lynchings of 1,297 Whites, all of which occurred between 1882 and 1968, with the peak occurring in the 1890s"

A lynching is visually terrifying, sends a strong message, and gets the job done. That could be our thing.
There were some Nazis that gathered downtown in my city the other day, and they could have been a great choice for alpha testing.
It's out of alpha. We are at least at 0.8.4
I think your link may not be correct
Thanks! I hate Firefox on mobile at times. I fixed it.
The Italians can also act as inspiration regarding how to treat fascists....
Literally what the rest of the world has been waiting for you to do for nearly a decade. We’re not holding our breath.
Y'know. We are trying. Millions of us. I don't think I have ever blamed an entire people for the actions of one of their criminals.
Sounds like something trump would do.
Trying how? Like… doing the same thing people did during the Bush era? Making cute signs and doing parades?
Really? Say what you want. Tell everyone in plain words, no hemming and hawing. What do you want? You want a mob if millions running around the United states are just hurting people.?
Say it. You won't. You are being insulting, small and trying to make yourself look like a tough guy. You wouldn't have the courage to stand in front of a u. S cop, much less do what your suggesting , tough guy
Let me tell you something you won't believe , but I KNOW.
He will be jailed. It will happen.
Now you can either say what you mean using all the words you're thinly veiling, or have the courage of your convictions.
Me? I'll go back to protecting my family.
Democrats will never allow a president to face consequences for their crimes. I doubt Trump will ever spend a day behind bars.
I hope they prove me wrong!
Please!!! Prove this fellow wrong!

I'm with you, buddy
The sooner the better
