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!

Yeah you know what? Fuck it. Maybe I will sit my ass down all day and not give a fuck at all. You know I just got back from a trip to Mexico and it was quite amazing not having to think about all the fucking political drivel that I do everyday here living in this hell hole, but I like to be informed.
I’m planning to protest on Saturday but maybe I won’t because even the liberals here curb stomp their allies for not doing enough.
Fuck Trump, fuck you and most of all: fuck the USA.
Fuck them. They're either an idiot or a troll. Maybe both. They're not worth your time.
Yeah I know. I’m just pretty burned out lately.
Same here. I am at a point of not giving a fuck anymore. I know that is what they want, so they won and now we have to live in fascist hell hole America for a while or forever. Not much I can do about it until a civil war happens I guess.
How would a civil war even play out nowadays?
I imagine the United States fracturing into multiple independent states that form alliances with each other in some way. Will there be independent cities, landlocked, surrounded by enemies? Will forces move in to occupy and conquer lands up to and around cities? How many states will survive to have actual statehood?
“We traveled into the Carolina empire into an area once known as Southwest Virginia. Fighting continued for months, but we couldn’t make progress. The locals know these mountains better than we ever could, even with our tech, they were killing us with pellet guns and improvised explosives called, “yee haws”. So we made our way into Georgabamasippi to hide among the Cousins and regroup. I’m keeping hope alive that the United States of California will make its way east, but even the word California can get you killed in these parts. I know you’ll probably never get this message, but it’s set to send as soon as I get signal, if I ever get signal. I love you, my darling. -1337NUTZ69420”
I hope I never have to live through anything like that, but I’d love to play the video game or watch the series of movies. :p
There are plenty of books you can read about this sorta thing I am sure.
Poor icefoxx only has negative, arrogant, or edgelord comments in their history. I hope they get some help.
In the meantime, the Voyager app has user tagging, which I deploy instead of blocking when I can.
what the fuck are you talking about?
