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!

The absolute worst time will be November to January when the outgoing Republicans have nothing to lose since they were just wiped in the midterms.
If we can make it to that point I'll be relieved. I'm expecting Trump and Miller to do a few things all at once:
Send in ICE goons to prevent people from voting in many Democratic places
Stage some false flag terrorist attacks at polling places or counting stations as a pretext to seize voting machines/ballots
Work with Musk and Thiel to sabotage the systems themselves (much like Musk did in 2024, I'm not saying it's a 100% fact but there has been enough fuckery to do hand recounts)
Use the war (pick any war, maybe a new one by that point) to cancel elections all together and even though Democratic states will hold elections, Republican states will not, so he'll have SCOTUS rule it an incomplete election and therefore invalid or something
?????: Some other completely batshit insane thing that I'm not evil enough or too sober to come up with.
I think you've got the nail on the head here. At first glance this is an outlandish list of scenarios. But to anyone whose paying attention to the news and can read between the lines, all of these bullet points are alarmingly viable.
And still, people will delude themselves into thinking it's completely normal and you're just fear mongering
Somehow when they're on the way out they always seem to become slightly better people when they don't have to performatively kiss ass. I'm not saying Marjorie Taylor green is a good person. Far from. But just compare her now to when she was in office. It's a small Improvement but it's still an improvement
They’re not going anywhere. 40% at least will vote for them and they use voting machines owned by priv…sorry Republicans.
If they get a midterm election.
They will not lose of tye voter rolls are purged and people can't vote.
