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!

Just a reminder that the Nazi party regularly said shit like this leading up to the Holocaust. The idea was to make it seem like, to the public, that they have been regularly giving warnings to and negotiating with Jewish people about their need to relocate out of Germany and give up their property, and that the refusal to cooperate was going to force Germany to use violence.
It was all propaganda. The intent from the beginning was to commit violence.
All of the people Republicans are mad out right now - queer people, educators, health care professionals, and social workers to name a few - are all being given "warnings", with increasingly violent rhetoric attach, priming their base to eventually resort to violence when those targets "refuse to cooperate". Really what they mean is "Never do anything that disagrees with our far right agenda, or we will murder you".
The Fascists want a civil war. In their fantasy it plays out like The Purge where the big strong patriots destroy all the scary black bloc antifa terrorists and usher in a new era. The reality is that it would just result in a domestic crisis that on top of traumatizing the general public, would destabilize the country enough to permanently destroy our place in the world as a superpower.
Putin: Oh rly ... how did you say we do that again...?
