Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Trump and Co. are gambling that they can achieve dictatorship before the violence and other shit starts.

Putin smiles in Moscow. Chaos and violence in America is his win. It's also his win if the US slides into dictatorship and the US population shrugs and goes along quietly.

this is sort of like how the options we're being presented right now are either civil war or genocide.

too many people are choosing wrong simply because they think a third choice exists

if he plays by putins book, he better eliminate his non-loyalist supporters quickly, either by jailing them or sending them to a foreign prison, or they will turn on him quick.

The Republicans spent the last 8 years purging their ranks of non-MAGA members. This part is done.
