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!

Four weapons safety rules (and an extra for good measure). This is the bare minumum general knowledge needed before handling a firearm.
and ammo, and about two to three weeks worth of fresh water and food if you possibly can. (and a lot of garbage bags in case you can't poop in your toilet and don't have a dirt yard.)
If we need more than that we're beyond fucked, but the track forward may get bumpy and there may be civil disruptions as various states, agencies and companies actually start preparing for an authoritarian takeover on US soil, it would likely come with something akin to martial-law, which people will resist and there would be large-scale violence that could disrupt power grids, water and sewage, and of course logistics routes.
It wouldn't last forever, we're nowhere capable of an actual civil war on US soil unless like, half the armed-forces don't follow the leader, but by then it's very likely the admin will have replaced every general and military leader as they've been trying to do. But it could get very bad for a lot of people.
Pray we're not about to see history unfold, pray the "nothing ever happens" dipshits score a win on this one.
