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!

These right-wing~~b~~nutz need a death-certificate 🤬
I fear they will get the civil war they want, and the country will be destroyed in the process.
Sometimes you gotta break the thingand replace it with something new because the glue and tape isn't working anymore
I wish the factions could sit down together and figure this shit out, because the one thing we all have in common is that none of us are happy with the way things are.
Problem is, we are unhappy about different parts of the way things are, and even worse, the same parts in opposite directions.
The actual problem is the right wing's inability to compromise because of the religious core of the GOP. This is why Republicans block anything from getting through Congress and waste time doing shit like slow walking the Hunter Biden case because they can't get anything on the actual POTUS.
Agreed. I was just pointing out that even giving them the benefit of the doubt (which you are right, we shouldn't) it is Still not as simple as just finding commonalities - many things we think are good they directly consider bad and vice versa.
Trying to imagine what that would look like. National guard squaring off against militias? Does the US military break apart? Big jump in bombings?
I imagine it will just be lots of lone wolf domestic terrorism.
Maybe not lone-wolf, but yes. It’ll look more like The Troubles, than any war we’ve seen. Neighbor on neighbor,
Texas LEOs traveling to Oregon to arrest doctors for treating trans kids and getting fucking wrecked by socialists with guns would be a civil war I could get behind
