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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

We’ve had one coup attempt, yes, but what about second coup? Elevensies?

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Is it still a coup d’état if you have already completely changed the government? This is more an effort to solidify the change.

This much was obvious.

I still think there will be a false flag blamed on Iran to cement the coup.

A rare question headline where the answer is yes.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Of course, but it will be pronounced "coop".

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Now this is where the militias should come in. Station a few at every polling station with cameras and defensive weapons. trump may have resources (that he stole from you) but he is not more powerful than the people.

I again reiterate that it’s maddening reading articles about shit that has been clear and telegraphed for years.

I’m not a journalist or even particularly that smart, and I’ve been aware that this was always what he was gonna end up doing

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Why there's a question mark in the headline?

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

The tankies should be happy he's emulating Russian elections.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 1 month ago

Betteridge's law of headlines says that answer will be no.

However the answer is yes. Lumpty Trumpty is planning a coup.

Intimidate voters so they stay away, unless they are part of the cult

The pedophile rapist is going to win by force. Sorry to all the normal brained americans (not the MAGA sluts), but there are no path forward sadly

[–] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

In the short term no. Facism is there to stay for the next decade at a minimum. Unlike the retards who thinks this is ending when he dies, I believe that it will be the beginning of something much worst.

Of course he is, but it's always important to remember: These parasites talk a good game, but they are virtuosically incompetent. They are ALWAYS bluffing, and whatever they do, will always fail.
