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!

You got any money for those of us that can't afford it and are trapped in one of the most capitialist hellholes?
What happens when fascism knocks in the new country? Fascism is rising globally.
Rising? No, planned
Yeah I'm pretty sure it's a coordinated plan to shore up power and resources before the inevitable climate collapse. Amoc is shutting down, we'll likely have a blue ocean event in the next decade, and we were already in one of the most significant extinction events in planetary history. It's gonna get real real bad.
Done that, but it hasn't fixed anything. Also, the UK is noticeably worse since I got here... I can't get anything right!
I moved back in 2015 and, while many things about my personal situation are better (though not all), that doesn't solve the actual problem. Things happening in the US still impact the rest of the world no matter what.
Yeah, no. I left a long time ago as the writing was on the wall well before Trump. The political right has been working to dumb down America beyind belief since at least the 1970's.
@crandlecan @WhoIzDisIz In early 2017 after the election we knew had putin in it, we got our passports and looked. One of us went to "seminars" about going to different countries. We're still here.
Friends who escaped nazi Germany are still here and one is deathly afraid of what's happening. She likely has enough to get out but seems unable to.
If we could leave, we'd leave. We can't and we'll die here. Younger people with skills that are needed elsewhere should get the hell out.
😢
@crandlecan I'm sorry. I can't keep living with euphemisms so folks feel better when it comes to politics. Me thinks if the media was more up front about what was going on we wouldn't be here but who knows. Pelosi knew about it and experts have been predicting this move to fascism for about 25 years. We knew - we just didn't know what was going on.
Agreed 💯💯
@crandlecan Thanks, then we can moan together with millions of others :) .
Yeah... I'm getting past moaning too these days :(
