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.

I wish. I wish we admitted the moment we saw the election results. The longer we wait the harder it will be.
At a certain point we will just become russia.
If want to know the truth here it is: There are no good choices left. Sacrifice now, or sacrifice later. The only winners are people who die before they have to pay up.
USA is Number 1! ... In denial.
From my perspective in Canada, there’s nothing the US can do to unfuck this situation.
Let’s say folks unseated Comrade Spraytan somehow and reversed all of his policies. I would still never trust their country again with economic or security dependence in the way that much of the world has enabled in the status quo.
It was the American voters who selected this foolishness, not once but twice. They and their country will not be trusted for a generation or maybe longer. They threw away a very good thing for them because of abject greed, and now it’s gone forever.
Yeah that's how it seems to me too.
November 24 was a turning point, and this path was chosen in a free and fair election.
If Trump died tomorrow he would be replaced by someone just as bad by any meaningful metric.
As an American I know I will never look at America or other people the same way again. The last few months have opened me to ideas I never considered before and have completely changed how I view myself and even the people I used to trust. This is certainly the Gen Y/Z generation-wide trauma event. I'm not sure the AIDS epidemic was even this bad. Government negligence is one thing. This is complete disregard for the law.
I have news for you if you think the aids epidemic was negligent and not intentionally reckless because it was a "homosexual" disease.
And the problem isn’t Trump but rather the 30-40% that voted fir him
That 30-ish% (or more) of Americans like and support fascism is a real problem. Its been a real problem for... roughly all of human history that 1/3 of us are selfish monsters that lack empathy.
Trump stole the election. He announced he would, his lackeys did extensive voter suppression work, and then he bragged about doing it afterwards. He didn't win a fair election, and it's disgusting that the narratives have fully blown past that.
The wealthiest people on Earth believe that we're in an "end game" of some sort, and that now is the time to do everything in their considerable power to consolidate rule before the big collapse sets in. This isn't an America problem, it's a World Class War and the USA isnt even the first battlefield, just currently the most visible failure of the lower classes to fight back.
Out of ~250 million eligible voters (legally able, 18 or over, etc) roughly 32% voted for trump.
For Hitler, it was 37 percent of the popular vote. History does rhyme.
Trump stole the election.
I would very easily believe that Trump did, but I'm still going to need to see your source.

Its a global class war the Australian Murdoch family is a huge reason Americans vote they way they do. Also it has bled into Canada. The freedom convoy and people like Lauren Southern are paid shills for foreign billionaires.
And Eastern European oligarchs and Middle Eastern oil tycoons who are bankrolling it. It's not an America thing lol
Not only an American thing. However it definitely is an American thing.
The Murdochs all have American citizenship and don’t live in Australia.
Literally only Rupert was born in Australia, all the others are from Britain and the US.

Honestly we’ve been fucked since 2016.
I think many Americans can agree we were fucked ever since Ronald Reagan took office.
I kept hoping the boomers dying off would change things, but it looks like the new generation is even dumber.
57% of Gen Z men voted for Trump. This isn't a Boomer only issue anymore.
No, 57% of registered Gen-Z voters who were men voted for Trump. Keep on mind over half of Gen Z didn't even vote. So the overall percentage of Gen Z who voted for Trump is much, much smaller.
They've grown up in relative privilege (their parents are relatively more well off than the boomers' parents), and still find stuff to complain about. It won't reach a tipping point until they start feeling real pain. That, unfortunately, hasn't happened yet.
We were already completely fucked. We knew this in the 70's and reconfirmed it in 2023. With Trump reinstalled, we're extra super-duper double-stamp no-erasies fucked.
Martial law in maybe 5 days...
why. hes doing everything he could under martial law now without having to declare it.
At some point all of the ignored court rulings will force him into a proper coup. Until then you are right.
Apparently the reason he signs so many executive orders is because it allows him to bypass congress to enact his fascist policies.
Which is even more suspicious, considering he does have a congress majority as well.
Because April 20th was always the plan...
Likely because it's hitlers b-day.
Have you legitimately not heard that date between project 2025 leaking and now?
Leaking?
