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.

I'm deadly serious here as a British person .... what the fuck is wrong with you people? Your country's been taken over by a fucking fascist, and half of you are clapping like seals.
This is disgusting, and you need to know we don't see you as two political parties over here. We see America as America. You're all doing this.
Stop saying but the right wing and fucking do something about it. If it was here, we would have hung them all by now.
If you want to get real about it, the short answer: it's too early.
If you look at every successful ousting of a corrupting party in modern history, it never starts with pitchforks or guns this early. Start too early, and they have a reason to suspend the laws in effect that are slowing them down. In essence, if one of them gets killed, thousands of US citizens are killed, or worse, just to prove a point.
Second, you have to allow them time to erode any popular support they may have. As noted above, going too hard too early gives them a chance to pull a Hitler and do a "SEEEE??? WE NEED TO STOP THEM ALL!!! I WAS RIGHT!". Not the best place to start when something like 30% of the population may be diehard (literally) supporters. Shit will go south for everyone super fast.
Lastly, every element in this group is already doing the hard part for the rest of us: proving they are absolutely incapable of running a country. The more that people see this and come to understand and detach from that alignment is a good thing.
The bad part of all it: it takes time. Just making a dramatic point isn't going to change minds. Allowing these woefully incapable and idiotic pieces of shit to ruin an entire country's lives may unfortunately be what it's going to take before the military folks step away from them, their supporters, businesses, and as much as I fucking hate to say it, his billionaire buddies who all belong in prison right now. They all need to detach from that teat first before any meaningful and drastic movements can be made.
That's actually a very good point mate I think he might already be aiming for the ss bit faster than you can react though might have to do preemptive action to at least slow the process.
One thing I feel is lacking is an organised resistance I see aoc on tv and it looks great but the rest of her party are mostly shit.
Why do you think he pardoned all the J6 people?
He plans to deputize them at some point and let them run wild. He won't try to invoke military control at first, because every nation that has the ability will wipe them out faster than they can react. Again, these people are dumb as hell.
Your right
As a US person, all I've wanted to do is kill myself or do something drastic while doing it.
Why haven't I? I don't want my life to be a giant politcal statement. I don't want to be responsible for the millions of people in the US, and the billions around the globe. I don't want to make a mistake and inadvertly ruin my family's life. I'm a 20 year old college student who was naively interested in electronics, only to see the tech industry is just as vile as real life.
I'm scared, I'm anxious, and I'll admit that I'm a massive bitch. I guess I leave this comment behind because I don't know what to do with these feelings, but I know that if I keep playing ignorant and stay silent that things will only get worst.
If this were to happen in England, I'd hope you would all hang them too. But I would understand if you don't, because we're all human, and I'd still like to be empathetic in these very hard times.
So fucking fight go to marches leaflet do all the legal shit and if any one tells you to stop beat the shit out of them killing your self over fash cunts is stupid stay alive to hurt them more the longer you live the less people turn to fashism you have a job to do soilder don't fucking quit the fight just started
Just wanted to add to this I'm a 3 tour vet with PTSD I'm done now mate if this happens here I'll hang them myself it's a.soilders job not yours
. Yours is to change minds one at a fucking time if you have to make them see it
