What good is an alarm with nobody to respond to the emergency?
politics
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!

Although election experts say it’s clear the president doesn’t have authority over elections, they warn the president’s corrosive rhetoric leaves little doubt about his intent.
Don't need an election expert. Literally anybody who paid attention in middle school civics could tell you this.
Which is why we are doomed.
I didn't have civics in my school. This may also be why we are doomed.
I have a vague itch about this Trump guy. He might not be a decent guy. Not sure though.
At least he tells it like it is. Kinda guy you could have a beer with.
How much fascism does the fascist have to fascist because Americans realize he’s a fascist
Probably quite a bit, given how the liberal mainstream media just spent 10 years refusing to reckon with this idea.

Trump May Be a Loudmouthed Demagogue, but Is He a Fascist? Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric has his opponents likening him to Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. Such comparisons may be misplaced.

Is Donald Trump a Fascist?
My favorite thing about all the reactionary centrism coming out of the "liberal media" and plenty of leftist scolds was how they were still referencing Godwin's Law even after Godwin said it's not really a law or a fallacy.
Then, in 2023, he said this. And even still we have the oblivious jackasses and Tone Police wagging their fingers at anyone comparing Pedonald to Hitler. I've asked some of these people bringing up Godwin's Law if they know what Godwin has said about Donvict? Crickets.

If the alarm blazes but the arsonists are the ones that respond, the alarm is useless.
Some of those that burn crosses
Arsonists who work forces.
