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!

Unfortunately for the world, even though Trump has been actively sabotaging America's place in the world, we're still in the position where stupid shit like this still involves the rest of the world.
Unfortunately you're correct but so far we Australians have made it loud and clear that trumpism isn't wanted here by the majority. There are more than enough cookers here as it is.
Well Lachlan Murdoch just won control of his father's media empire, get ready for some heavy doses of propaganda and Sky News to take the obnoxious levels up to eleven.
It's gonna be brutal.
for the record, it's not just the US turning to fascism. lots of places are going that way, even if we're ahead of the curve. Australia is... less so than most, so yeah, I'll celebrate that much with you... but... please stay vigilant.
If the maga movement gets their way I give Australia 10-15 years before it's an authoritarian oligarchy
You are locking down the internet though. Cultibating a masterbaterbase and connecting ip and likeness where lower level government, hackers, groups can also access everything you have done online.
You are heading to the same place unless you get a populist reform alternative to status quo plutocracy polits of both parties to be supplanted with far right running as reform with help from the us, russia, and their constellations of super rich ideologue pricks.
We're locking down social media. I don't want my kids anywhere near it so I don't really worry about that.
The fear mongering about it is high though but if you read the details it's not that bad. Just don't use Google or apple. Find new search engines and don't use social media. Social media is not exactly a necessity
