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!

So?! Gonna fight this guy with statements made in the past?! It's like arguing with IDF that what they're doing is unfair and immoral.
They and their voters don't care. It's the kind of people that simply wants to have the winning hand, whatever way. Integrity, honesty, fair play, ... are not in their dictionary. Power & money are their values. These guys are only busy with their own interests. And the goal justifies the means.
At first they'll try to get their way legally (eg. soft approach à la Cambridge Analytica and advantageous algorithms, FOX news, ...). If that doesn't work they'll adapt the law (ID & birth certificate, Roe vs Wade, Climate agreements, ...). If that doesn't work they'll go "slightly" outside the law but it's for the best (ICE razzia's, deporting illegal mexicans to maximum security prisons in Venezuela, shooting supposedly drug boats in the Caribbean, ...), If that doesn't work they'll go full Nazi (ICE are militia in the streets, kill political opponents like they tried on J6, track every not like-minded citizen with Palantir, DOGE data & whatever data they scraped, for instance, in this thread and put them in the concentration camps that are being built across America, ...)
My point is, either way, power will not be given back.
EDIT : typo, layout. Went a bit off topic perhaps.
