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!

There have been protests nearly every single day since he took office. We're already grouped together fighting back so you're either uninformed or you're calling for open revolt.
So which is it.
Isolated and uncoordinated protests.
And not nearly big enough.
They're not though.
And we had the largest protest in American history like 5 months ago.
So again you're uninformed or backing open revolt.
Oooooo...
5 whole months ago.
Yeah just ignore the fact that the largest protest ever isn't big enough for you.
You're after open revolt, just say it and at least be honest. You'll still be an armchair revolutionary but at least a slightly less pathetic one.
It may have been the biggest the US has done, but it was obviously not big enough to cause an inconvenienceto those in power.
And not sustained enough.
Protesting isn't a one-and-done thing. You have to keep the pressure on.
And you keep trying to put words in my mouth.
Whatever, it's not my country. If you guys can't be bothered to even protest effectively, thats on you.
We're in the process of decoupling our economy from the US anyway.
So again, not big enough for you.
They're are still protests literally every day.
I'm not, I'm drawing the logical conclusion to your argument. Large sustained protests generally turn violent so you're calling for open revolt.
It's not whatever decouple as much as you'd like you'll still see the backlash of whatever happens here. Similarly no one asked you, you offered your opinion so clearly it does matter to you and isn't "whatever" just be honest in what you're saying.
