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!

I'm not sure they want to only jail their political opponents. The unhinged magamonkeys are seething over lots of nonsense their thought leaders dream up on the daily, and many are stroking off to shooting their neighbors, co-workers, family members and all over a bunch of lies. If they won't pull the trigger themselves, they seem positively giddy about the idea of putting people on trains.
Trump wants to put homeless people in camps and Republicans want to remove civil rights protections for trans people, lgbtq+ people in general, and people of color in the work place. It's hard to pay rent or house payments without a job. They want to make as many people homeless as possible and then give them a choice between prisons and death camps. Since they will be legalizing the death penalty wherever they can the difference between the two will be negligible.
So in short yes. Between the ethnic cleansing of immigrants and deaths camps it's going to be full on fascism. People seem to think they can wait out fascism. It probably wouldn't hurt to mention that we won't be able to leverage the Democratic Party while we are digging our own mass graves.
On the bright side, there is still time to do something about it. I think throwing this link around between now and the election would be useful. It's an easier way to process 900 pages.
