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!

I cannot even understand the reasoning of these people. I did not expect "consumption" to be a thing during my lifetime.

Consumption? Check

Weird isolationist grifter president? Check

Anarchists? Hell check

The maga dipshits overshot 1950s and sent us back to 1901, strap in

Only thing different is the nazis are running the USA this time

[–] Seleni 4 points 1 day ago

They were then too.

Hell, lots of people in the US were in the Nazi camp all way up to WWII when we got to see that kind of regime in unfettered action.

The Nazis got their ideas from looking at what America did to genocide the natives. Hell even the Spanish american war feels about to break out again because some loudmouth oligarchs seem hell bent on doing imperialism in 2025

Don't forget Jim Crow. The Nazis got a lot of their segregation and eugenics crap from the U.S.

Oh it predates the US. The Crusades eliminated massive numbers of people in the name of Christianity. There have been innumerable cullings through history based on ideas of righteousness, pureness, etc. just because the guys with the power want land.

McKinley was elected in 1897, seems like they’re approaching target
