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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!

You don't say

They've almost finished doing that already. As soon as Biden was inaugurated all the red states immediately passed laws to limit mail-in voting, purged voter rolls and limited polling places in purple districts.

The violent former MAGAs are getting fed up and are inclined to vote 2nd amendment style.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Don't care what they have inclined they supported this regime. They are nothing but traitors and bigots. Fuck them. I rather use my firearm on them as well.

Already happened in India by Modiji

Why not just focus on great policy and results?

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

Because the Republican party operates as a patronage machine run by billionaires. The policies they want are ones which transfer money from your pocket into theirs. This is needless to say, not popular, so they stir up racism to divide people and distract from what they're doing.

Good policy is way less profitable

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

You really have to watch this recent Steve Bannon interview to see how serious and blatant they are

but there's no long-term plan. What do you do when the majority of the people you represent hate your policy? Well there's reckonings of increasing severity.

Voting is the condom that protects the powerful from the many. If you fuck everyone and raw dog the will of the masses you're going to get a Society Transmitted Infection

The long term plan is to kill off the bulk of the US population using racism as an excuse

Mr. Trump said that if it was up to Mr. Miller there would be only 100 million people in this country, and they would all look like Mr. Miller,

[–] SandraBollocks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah no duh

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Amerikkka is fucked. Enjoy authoritarianism. Steven Miller will be the next president after Trump.
