Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

How Americans aren't storming the white house or Mar A Lago at this point with a bunch of guns is beyond me.

I'm not trying to be demeaning, this isn't a rhetorical question. Seriously, what sort of logistical miracle would it take for this? America is fucking huge and that would take organization and I have no ideas.

I'm beyond hope for peaceful OR violent change. The only future I'm seeing is collapse and the subsequent corporate cyberpunk nightmare that will devour what remains.

They had no problem on jan 6.

Well the president organized an insurrection.
They had someone plan the date for them. The DNC won't even plan something more than brunch.

What America needs is a leader to fight the government. Someone like Mark Kelly

I think we will see many middling nations appear after America breaks up, eventually resulting in all the smaller ones getting gobbled up. Mexico, Canada, New York, and California would probably be rival nations after awhile.

First,  small groups of armed militias need to form at a local level. Then they would need to communicate and organize to travel on a certain date and just show up.

Are you recommending that all of the disgruntled Magas commit suicide by secret service?

Armed man shot and killed after entering Mar-a-Lago secure perimeter, Secret Service says

precisely that. krasnov won't learn his lesson unless you die at him. so go do that maybe.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

They still think the same strategy that supposedly helped Obama to beat Mitt Romney ("they go low, we go high") will also beat Trump.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

I was told this was what they needed guns for
