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!

We’re watching in real time the conversion of ‘normal people’ into complicit members of the regime. We were complacent, we enabled the government to put the people in a situation where we don’t have a choice anymore.
Sure, you can ‘refuse’, but then you have to deal with the consequences of that refusal; months in jail, no paycheck, no benefits, fired, demoted, family starving or under investigation, denationalized and/or deported. Look at the normal Americans who have spent months in jail and lost their jobs, and have stained criminal records, or lost their careers, for absolutely no reason other than they said or did something the regime didn’t like. Not illegal, but they stood up and they’re losing everything.
No wonder young twenties somethings, normal people, are taking up admin jobs working for ICE and the DHS’s immigration agenda. No wonder the Proud Boy type, that has no other marketable skills, are taking up these raids and bounty hunting jobs.
We don’t have to wonder why normal people became part of the Nazi’s regime, anymore. You crush the people long enough, that even if you don’t really agree with their agenda, you still need to put food on the table and raise your children. ‘Better them than me, they’re the ones that broke the law.’
