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!

The USA is being run by a fascist and last I checked change from within didn't stop Hitler.
Yeah, being realistic here, no country on earth can successfully invade the US. Change from within is pretty much the only option. If the American people are fine with the currently state of affairs then not much the rest of the world can do.
Most of them aren't fine with the status quo, but they're too poor and distracted to really do anything. We're really good at the whole bread and circus thing.
The ones with money and means are too busy making more money than they ever have in their entire lives to care.
Not just poor or distracted... Is a fascist state, fear and police control are real. You want to accidentally be mistaken for an immigrant and sent to Honduras? How about jail for 5 years for throwing a firecracker at a protest because it's "terrorism"?
If no country on earth can invade the US and the US has already been protesting and demonstraing at record turnout what exactly do you expect citizens to be able to do that a financed and organized military cannot?
What about Italy? Also, Hitler was really lucky several times.
Italy was also part of the Axis powers, there was a lot of external pressure on that country by the Allies. There is none on the USA. Also hasn't there been three assassination attempts on Trump 'from within', Id hardly say he hasn't gotten lucky.
Hitler also wasn't a geriatric pantload that could be killed by a hard sneeze
