Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

You don't say

They've almost finished doing that already. As soon as Biden was inaugurated all the red states immediately passed laws to limit mail-in voting, purged voter rolls and limited polling places in purple districts.

The violent former MAGAs are getting fed up and are inclined to vote 2nd amendment style.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Don't care what they have inclined they supported this regime. They are nothing but traitors and bigots. Fuck them. I rather use my firearm on them as well.

Already happened in India by Modiji

Why not just focus on great policy and results?

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 25 points 9 months ago

Because the Republican party operates as a patronage machine run by billionaires. The policies they want are ones which transfer money from your pocket into theirs. This is needless to say, not popular, so they stir up racism to divide people and distract from what they're doing.

Good policy is way less profitable

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 8 points 9 months ago

You really have to watch this recent Steve Bannon interview to see how serious and blatant they are

but there's no long-term plan. What do you do when the majority of the people you represent hate your policy? Well there's reckonings of increasing severity.

Voting is the condom that protects the powerful from the many. If you fuck everyone and raw dog the will of the masses you're going to get a Society Transmitted Infection

The long term plan is to kill off the bulk of the US population using racism as an excuse

Mr. Trump said that if it was up to Mr. Miller there would be only 100 million people in this country, and they would all look like Mr. Miller,

[–] SandraBollocks@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah no duh

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Amerikkka is fucked. Enjoy authoritarianism. Steven Miller will be the next president after Trump.
