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!

And searches for "can I change my vote" and "what is a tariff" have spiked

Everyone has been warning against Trump (including his own ex staff and lawyers).

Big thanks to the donkeys though who promoted Trump and tried to pretend Kamala is the same.

I doubt there is a single economist that believes in Trump

Get ready because next year they going make protesting illegal, and Trump already signal his willingness to send troops to said protest. I suspect we will have protest and soldiers shooting said protesters. People under estimate how many mega have joined the army.

If making protesting illegal is enough to get you to stop protesting: You're not really upset enough to have protested in the first place for anything but taking pictures of it for social media points.

And it's not like protesters haven't been getting shot or beaten up by police even while it's legal.

That's why I would advise against directly confrontation means of protest. Instead look at things like malicious compliance, boycotts, 4B / birthstrike, anticonsumption, and other acts of non-participation. Labor strikes will probably be common, but those can be rather risky.

Governments know how to deal in violence. Don't give them a target to aim at.

Yep. They knew what would happen because we’ve been telling them for months what would happen. Trump himself has been telling them for months what would happen. But they’re too smart. They always seem to know more than those they disagree with.

And now, because of a single issue that’s happing in a country where most of them couldn’t have located on a map a year ago- we’re now having to deal with the worst possible outcome.

And here’s the kicker-

What’s happening at that place that they could locate on a map a year ago that upset them so much will not be happening for too much longer…

and it won’t be ending in a way they’d have hoped it would.

But just wait… it’ll be everyone else’s fault.

The sad part is that everything bad he says is apparently "him joking". Like the Mafia, he knows exactly what he's doing as well when it comes to coercion. He doesn't threaten people, he just says it would be a pity if it happened

The new narrative is "I have no culpability whatsoever when it comes to Trump winning just because I kept repeating that no one should vote for Harris. It's entirely her fault for running a bad campaign."

They refuse to share blame. I hope they feel just as self-righteous when they're getting marched into that boxcar.
