For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

As commenter below pointed out it was in 2025. They expect some resistance but when they control 3 branches, and have telegraphed pain for businesses who don't comply, and most news and information is consumed from for profits that can't exist if they don't bend the knee...well they've got cha.
There will be violence, sure, they'd be all to happy to use it but it's not something they're worried about. Once some loyal heads start purging the FBI and CIA, then we'll get into proper Stasi land.
From last Sunday on, no citizen has any rights guaranteed anymore, and laws no longer apply unless they're taken by force. Any crime against a person or business can just be waived or bought off.
Welcome to the authoritarian technogarchy.
I'm looking forward to the purges. Sure, let's piss off the people whose full time jobs it is to overthrow governments and then give them all the unpaid time off together that they could ask for. Certainly nothing incredibly funny will come of doing that.
