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!

better buy guns while you c an
"i don't like guns!" LOL ok... does your dislike of guns outweigh the safety of your kids? yes? don't buy guns then
My current assessment is that having a gun in the house would increase the risk of a household member's suicidal ideation turning into suicide. That risk is higher than projected benefit of being able to shoot a threat in the face.
I grew up with guns. I've enjoyed shooting guns. I should not have a gun in the house..
I am team "know your neighbors and have a disaster readiness kit". My neighbors are great. We help each other.
People don't have guns in their homes to promote the safety of their kids.
"promote"? we're in a thread about a rapist president appointing (""""promoting"" LOL ) rapists to cabinet positions.
do you think roving bands of rapist trump magas ARE NOT going to go door to door looking for women/girls to rape? because, please tell me: what's going to stop them? other than a fucking shotgun blast in the face
i hope you're right, but i don't think you are
I don't think you're right, and I'm honestly a little concerned about your mental state.
There are still states, counties, and municipalities. There is law enforcement at all those levels, and they're traditionally against roving rapist bands.
Bruh I live in oklahoma. Admittedly our second largest city did just elect a democrat, but outside of that every level of my state is pro trump to a terrifying degree. Police officers here fly trump flags on their cars. And in my local town just a couple years ago an officer got put on paid leave for raping a 13(?) year old boy.
Part of the psyops to polarize our country further also includes radicalizing liberals. Thankfully, we've just been much, much slower at adopting extremist, violent views than the magats.

how about this: take your "radicalized liberals" and GO FUCK YOURSELF with it
yes, i'm "polarized" against rapists. why aren't you?
Touch some fucking grass dude.
you're right, everything will be fine
nothing to worry about
There's plenty to worry about. You might be focused on the wrong thing.
The person you replied to was being sarcastic
I know. I wouldn't have responded with anything if I thought it was meant at face value.
Just because I don't think there are going to be roving bands of child rapists going door to door doesn't mean I think there's nothing to worry about from another Trump term.
I think door to door was hyperbole, but if you dont think damn near everyone in trumps closet is going to come out as the next epstein you either havent been paying attention or youve drank the koolaid.
