The Supreme Court, urged on by well-funded far-right ideologues like Stephen Miller, is set to curtail important provisions of the Voting Rights Act, opening the door to aggressive, racially based disenfranchisement.

The second civil war has officially started, but Americans are too afraid to stand for their second amendment.

The U.S. empire is falling and I feel the entire world no longer gives a fuck, but China and the BRICS nations will be ecstatic that the U.S. petro dollar is no longer the global currency.

Stephen Miller's forehead is a large target

I think, like me, most thinking people in Europe do give a fuck about the ordinary Americans who have had no responsibility for all of this. But your government has made it clear to us that it's not an ally and has basically said "fuck you" to us.

Not much to do now.

Tell me why the world needs to give a fuck about the US failing.

Good point, why do we care about other people? I hope the entire planet dies in a fire except the people close to me, who will of course be fine after 99.9999% of the population is dead.

Because we are incredibly violent and have a lot of weapons. The capitalists seem intent on holding onto power for as long as possible even if it means making the world uninhabitable.

Empathy maybe?

Because, like it or not, the US is a major player in almost every sector. Research, media, trade, education, military, economic output, diplomacy, intelligence gathering etc., and a disruption of those sectors will have far reaching negative effects across the globe. There have already been significant negative effects and we're not even through the first year of this administration. That's why the world should care.

Lil 4'10" mini fascist is authoritarian cause otherwise he'd be irrelevant to women.

Why don't you say he has a small dick too, so we can fully focus on his genetic traits rather than what he has chosen to do with his life.

Tone policing for a nazi is wild.

[-] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

He's a nazi because he's a nazi not because he's short. Calling him short isn't a tone, it's rude to short people. Unless the posters claim is short men are all Nazis it's not relevant.

I hope this vile dickhead gets ass cancer.

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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!
