Didn't you people attempt to found a country because you didn't agree with a similar take in 1776?

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.

that boy needs suppressing lol
Free liberal democracy to military dictatorship regime speedrun
The US has never been a democracy, it was never even a particularly good representative republic. We started with political power explicitly and exclusively in the hands of white christian landowners and open chattel slavery. We've gradually loosened the criteria for voting while simultaneously reducing the impact it has via gerrymandering and other forms of disenfranchisement and corruption, same way we "abolished slavery" but left explicit allowance in the constitution for it as a punishment, now we just happen to have the largest prison population of any nation on this planet. Democracy in the US is a lie and always was, we're just seeing the last of the facade stripped away.
While i agree with you up to a point, posts like yours minimize the harm that the current administration is doing. The system was bad and unfair under Biden and his predecessors, but people still had access to trials and lawyers. Police did not hide behind masks. If the government detained you in the United States, they had to acknowledge it. You didn’t just disappear, kidnapped by ice and moved to a black site outside of the country. (It was another story with afghanistan etc.) You can deplore the system that existed before Trump and still acknowledge that Trump is much, much worse.
We can acknowledge the reality of how bad things were before without minimizing how bad they are now. Far too many people are still clinging to the idea that once Trump leaves office we can just go back to "normal" and everything will be ok.
You are dead right on that point. That is the true failure of almost every democrat in the US: they all want to go back to a shitty status quo. Let’s get rid of Trump AND usher in something better.

Tbh the US has always been there. It's just also now overtly affecting middle class whites

I hate this little fucking dweeb so much.
I sincerely wish someone would turn him into a fire hydrant
I'd much rather see him having to pick up trash by the highway for several years.
The rest of his life*
I'm desperately trying to parse what this means. Do you want someone to attach a fire hose to him? Paint him red? I must be missing something obvious.
One of the funnier artifacts of recent history was Larry Ellison having to audible to Bari Weiss to take over CBS, after his homeboy Charlie Kirk sprang a leak.
He enjoys your hatred. I think it helps to focus on their dweebness, laugh at these dorks...
And organize because neither hatred or laughter stops fascists alone.
He's so much worse than Trump himself
But he's so hardcore or some shit
Why don't people advocating for this kind of thing ever feel personal consequences?
Because Americans are still too complacent to affect consequences upon people like him.
The problem is not just complacency by the majority, but also that way to many are actively supporting this.
They do, eventually. There's a type of person who shows up in authoritarian regimes, and Stephen Miller fits that type very well. He's not good at anything except saying the right things. Eventually, a fundamental lack of competence causes them to fuck up in a major way. When that happens, they are "given the courtesy" of being allowed to shoot themselves in the head.
And then there’s Kissinger, who lived a long happy life of riches.
They don’t see consequences because America is a corrupt cesspool in which the rich play without fear of things like “laws” and “ethics” while the uneducated masses are placated by images of brown people suffering.
“The American Dream is aptly named: you’d need to be asleep to believe it.”
Kissinger died knowing that Trump will eventually undo all that Kissinger sold his soul for
That's a bingo.
They do, eventually.
No they don't. This is not a just world.
Justice doesn't play into it. This is what happens to a lot of guys in Miller's position. At some point, your regime does have to solve actual problems. When all the people in the regime are fundamentally incompetent, the boss blames them for failure. Early on, this just means firing them. When they've consolidated more power, the term "firing" becomes more literal.
Maybe. If Trump croaks, and Vance takes over, maybe he'll purge Miller for being a potential threat to his power/control.
No, it could easily happen before that. Everyone except Trump is replaceable, and that's especially true if they fuck up in a very public way.
In fact, Vance taking over and trying to purge the hardliners would hasten the split of the "true believers" away from Vance. That will happen, anyway, but it'd happen faster.
For historical examples of what happens when the fascist boss is mad at you, see Rudolf Hess or everyone vaguely related to the July 20 assassination plot (even Rommel!).
because the White Worm is all-powerful!!!
pushes for the use of state power to suppress it
Funny way of saying, he makes inflammatory statements that resulted in a JUDGE'S HOUSE BURNING DOWN
Just the next step in escalating the discourse against their opposition. I hadn't expected it to ramp up as quickly as it has, but ramp up it has. At this rate, there will be forceful silencing of political rivals by the end of the year.
yep.
unless
Lmao, any idiots trying to enforce this are going to get shot real quick.
Considering they have been losing employees this whole year it seems less and less likely that any significant group of brownshirts still exists to carry out these orders, especially since local PDs are starting to not help them.
Anyone else notice the Stephen Miller, looks like a cheap clone or the bastard child of Vladimir Putin?
or some sort of insect stalled in its larval stage
Stephen Miller (aka Shawty Cueball) is a nazi terrorist. Fuck him in the face holes.
He's begging for an extra.
