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!

I don't think he needs to be a distant memory. He needs to be held up for generations as the epitome of all that is wrong with the world.
We need regular societal level analysis of why we should avoid letting things get to a point where another Trump like figure emerges and investigation in how best to deal with it when it does.
Also "Don" or "Trump" should be made a synonym for explosive diarreah.
The 2030s and 2040s are looking pretty bleak with climate change impacts.
I don't think we'll all be congratulating ourselves on how great things are going without Trump.
I think we're on a pretty bleak trajectory, and Trumpism is a manifestation of society's anxiety around that. Poor uneducated idiots want to pretend it's not happening, and wealthy fucks want to implement a slave class to live in the wasteland and produce soylent
You're both right. This shit needs to be remembered by history as a lesson, but I also deeply look forward to it no longer being current events.
I cannot wait for the first time, after his inevitable passing, that I go a full week without hearing his name or seeing his stupid fucking sphincter looking face. Not forgotten, just not a constant goddamn onslaught.
There was a brief time, prior to the election in 2024, that I truly thought that I might not ever need to read or hear about this piece of shit ever again (I'm sure he'd still do stupid shit in the news, but I won't have to read it to stay abreast).
I miss that feeling.
"Im not coming in today. I've been Trumping on the toilet all night."
It works
Upvoted for that last sentence.
I totally agree with the sentiment of your reply. I just mean, I want him in the past, because he makes the present a daily dread-fest.
