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!

The only question is what are you personally gonna do about it? Yes, you, the person reading this. The government is out to fuck you. Dont act like this will blow over. This is just the beginning.
As a person reading this, the only thing I can think of is to vote. What happens afterwards will dictate any future course corrections.
I'm Norwegian.
I'll be loud about my opinion on socials, but it's not like I can vote or rally in the streets. So I'm doing what I can.
Can’t really do much. They have drones to blow us up. So I will peacefully protest as I have always done. But I’m sure they’ll find a way to blow me up for peacefully protesting.
Do what? All they've done so far is file two lawsuits that are both stalled in court. Being melodramatic doesn't help anything.

Fuckin A’ man
Sounds like a Trump kinda thing to do
Storm the Capitol?
Chuck Schumer is already writing a stern letter!
They'll let it happen. That's what typically happens. Few of them are at all prepared for this. They're too spread out and divided to do anything. Only a general strike would work to bring capitalists to their knees. But wage slavery won't allow it and too many are all too happy with the state of the state. Only when the military and gestapo goes unpaid will the gates open for a revolt.
They’ll vote harder at the next general election, silly.
I'm gonna get high and have a meltdown. Fortunately, weed is legal in my country. Still terrified of the American nazis, even though I'm not directly affected yet.
