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!

Is not a fantasy. There is probably a better than 50% chance that that is the future path of this nation. Rather than disparaging it, and those who are warning about it, wake up and start preparing for it. If it doesn't happen, great, but if it does, you will be happy to have a game plan.
I know where my personal Red Lines are, which scenarios will make me act, and I am mentally preparing myself to respond to those those situations. I am stockpiling supplies, and discussing plans with family and trusted friends. I'm losing weight, and getting in shape. I'm ready to either run from Nazis, or chase them, whichever is required.
I have recently made peace with the concept that there is a good chance I won't live into old age, and my life may have a twist ending I wasn't expecting. More importantly, I have had the revelation that dying like that would be a waste, if our Nation has become permanently MAGA Nazi.
If it pops off, and I hope it won't, but also think it probably will, I'll be ready. I won't be an instigator, but I absolutely won't back down either. If the treasonous psychopaths come after me or mine, they'll find a true fight on their hands. If any of my Red Lines are crossed, I'm already prepared, mentally and physically, to engage.
I suggest everyone else do the same. Establish your Red Lines, make plans with family, start stockpiling, and get in shape.
