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!

With this all out attack on American Citizens. It makes me wonder, if we're their enemy, who are their allies? And also why aren't more Heritage Foundation buildings and Republican Offices on fire?
Because the people that hate republicans are usually moral people and wreaking havoc and mayhem isn’t something we usually do.
You're going to have to because walking around with signs isn't going to stop this.
What about a strongly worded sign with like eight bullet points?
But that won't make people on the internet chuckle
Psh, you haven't seen my signs!
Their allies? White Racists, neo-Nazis, everyone who wants a dictatorship and the Russians. All of them are worthless shits.
Don't forget the ultra rich, as much as the ultra rich would like you to forget them.
Hmm who has well documented ties to this administration and would be happy with the downfall of America as a world power? This is one I’ll have to Putin the ol’ think tank for a while
Their allies are white white supremacists who don't consider you people and because Americans have a severe case of invertebrate-osis respectively.
Because Americans are cowards
Well, ask yourself. Why haven't you done any of these things you're asking.
Did you ask yourself why I would post those activities on a public forum first?
The courage of your convictions, a call to action for others, leading by example.
There are many reasons you might decide to.
Look, you seem to be Australian. If you'd like to join 50501 and dive from there I won't stop you. But I get it. You are urging me because I am here. Believe me, there is preparation and movement, Portland is steeped in madness they are resisting so hard, we started late in all states, but its there. Far more than any socials, including Lemmy, show.
I'm not urging you to do shit, tbh.
But I'm tired of all the hand-wringing from people who are waiting for "someone else" to do something.
I'm sorry I didn't realise you've already torched a dozen wasps nests I didn't know about.
You dont even live here. Go hand wring about your laws that allowed Collective Shout to fuck adult games the planet over.
What the fucks your problem dude?
Fragile fuck.
You came in here commenting like you're a badass who would've grabbed Trump's gooch yourself by now. Seems you can't even handle some internet comments. Number 1 rule is dont be a dick dude. You crossed that while ignoring your own country's problems that literally just cost the world a sliver of their freedom of choice, the actual entire world.
Where did I do that? I think you're totally misinterpreting me and being a massive asshole in the process.
You also haven't told me what issue you think Australia has, which specific law do you want changed?
