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!

He's openly talking about shipping US citizens off to a foreign prison; if there's ever going to be a cause to rise up over, it's this.
The time to rise against Trump was before the election. Because frankly, unless you're willing to risk being shipped off to a concentration camp without due process or worse, whatchagondo about it now...?
I mean, I agree with you on principle, but that's like saying "The best time to rise up against Trump was 2016." Yes, but also we're well past that now and a 'We should have done X' attitude isn't going to solve any problems. Better to look forward and consider what we should do now.
Yup. The best time will always be now, because conditions will just get worse, opposition will just get more fractured, and Trump will just get bolder every time he gets away with pushing the line.
This has been the narcissist's playbook for forever.
I agree with you that you can't change the past and you can only change the present - and that's it's not terribly constructive to say coulda-shoulda.
But honestly... It takes a particularly dim-witted individual to vote for Trump the first time, and a complete and utter moron to do it again the second time. It's not like nobody could see any of this shit coming, and anybody with an IQ above room temperature knew this was gonna happen. That's what's so damning!
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.
...Even if doing so gets you rendition'd to El Salvador.
Fight.
yes but americans are proving to be sheep in wolves' clothing so they are going to take it with a shy smile
