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!

Can we just reload to a better save point?

If that were possible, I'll like to go back a year and get a do-over on Butler, PA.

Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes. And do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.

They should also remember that murder peaked immediately post WWII in Europe as people got even with their Nazi tormenters.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 59 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

They will complain that women won't want to date them, but they also get to live in fear that the women who will date them are secretly planning to [redacted] them like O-Ren Ishii.

I can't believe I'm living though my country's Nazi era. History will not be kind to us. I hate all of this. My sister voted for this and I'll never forgive her.

[–] Maxxie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago

I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 57 points 4 days ago (3 children)

My entire damned family voted for it... even my closest sibling who had never voted republican in her life... that other side indoctrinated hard... I'm so disgusted, and she even said "I'm so sad ice picked up one of my favorite co-workers!" "And you voted for that" apparently wasn't the comfort she was seeking.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 19 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Even if we can finally purge MAGA from our government, and even have it declared a terrorist/hate organization, how do we deal with millions of brainwashed idiots? They aren't going to change their minds easily, and accept that they were conned.

They were conned once, they can be easily conned again.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Restore quality education to prevent future generations from falling into the same traps of flawed logic and propaganda.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Probably the best thing we can do to prevent it from happening again.

I mean... these people are ignorant as shit.

[–] BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ignorant isn't the right word. There has been a coordinated propaganda campaign for 30 years pointing toward this goal. What you're seeing in these people didn't happen overnight. Yes they are also ignorant. Nazi sympathizers were average citizens. Fascist propaganda is a powerful drug.

Trump is a big man baby with mayonnaise for a brain.

But most of civilized society already knows this.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 96 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The United States provides the best historical reenactment of Nazi Germany ever. Living history in action folks!

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 35 points 4 days ago

Just wait until they add the bonus Great Depression reenactment!

Oh cool, a president threatening to prosecute the press for reporting on something factually correct. Cool cool cool.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 78 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (8 children)

Noem told reporters alongside Trump on July 1 as they toured a new detention center in the Florida Everglades known as ~~"Alligator Alcatraz."~~ "Alligator Auschwitz."

That's the correct name.

Don't owrry, he'll file a spurious lawsuit against them soon, which they will immediately settle, in a totally-not-legalized-bribe means of smoothing over the upset.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's worked for ABC and CBS, why not CNN? Just threaten to pull their broadcast licenses, and accept a settlement bribe.

I suspect CNN won't be the last.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Fortunately CNN isn't broadcast (the C is "cable"). But they'll still probably cave.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Now with his own GeStaPo with a budget bigger than most of the worlds militaries, he can finally eradicate any opposition with ease. Well done, American voters, you got yourself a Führer.

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 8 points 3 days ago

Bro how much did Desantis pay to get this angle on the header?

[–] xenomor@lemmy.world 49 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (6 children)

So, are the democrats and the American people, and all our public institutions, and private industry just going to sit around and let these fascist losers ruin everything, forever? Is that the plan? It really looks like that’s the plan right now.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 68 points 4 days ago (19 children)

No one is broadcasting the revolution. Throw sugar in ICE gas tanks, cut the power to Heritage Foundation offices, and shut the fuck up about it.

It makes more sense when you fully understand what people mean when they say both sides.

People who want to argue that point take it to mean "both sides are the same". What it really means is both sides are complicit. It's good cop bad cop. The good cop has to keep up appearances, to sell the illusion of choice and safety. While the bad cop takes all the heat.

And if you want evidence, just look at how things have gone in the last 40 years. Republicans take 3 steps right, democrats take 1 step left. Well, do the math. That's a net result of 2 steps to the right without recoarse. Now repeat for 40 years, and you have a situation where it's literally gotten to nazi america tactics.

The old barometer for how far they've gone is when they undid roe v wade. Now, thats so far in the rear view, that we're at a point where unidentified government agents are kidnapping people on the street, without even confirming they have reason to arrest them, and at times killing them in the process.

Let me repeat that. We're at a point where government officials are now grabbing people off the street and killing them, without so much as a confirmation of their identity.

But don't worry, the democrats are going to wave their fingers in a "no no no" motion, real hard. We'll all be fiiiiiiine! Well, unless of coarse you're brown enough, or just mistaken for an opposing opinion.

Yeah. Both sides.

It’s about this app: https://www.iceblock.app/. Download it, use it.

Why TF has this topic been around for hours and has no one posted this? Why is the drama again made more important than the substance? Don’t let the hysteria win.

And they'll bend the knee. Throw some scapegoat under the bus, because this is the new Fascist America.

You chose this, America. Now no one will save us.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (7 children)

How does this make any sense?

Shouldn't they be suing Apple to take it down if they don't like it? I know they just want to weaken press, but it feels like an especially weak excuse.

If we allow Dogey America to survive, this won't be a joke anymore. Children will be playing with Alligator Alcatraz playsets.
