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

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!

You know, if you skip that first sentence in my comment, what country would you think I was talking about?
Fascism happens slowly, and then all at once. Please, I beg of you, read a book.
Oh no you must be smarter than me by telling me to read a book…
If Trump does win again democracy will not fall under him, this is the type of shit people who are terminally online/terminally on Twitter say.
Lets check back here if he happens to get elected and if you are right I’ll apologize for not seeing it coming and if it’s just another 4 years of a moron running the country but democracy is still a thing you can apologize, I don’t bet much but if money was involved I’d bet I’m right
I bet you were the the type that said that we didn't need to worry about Roe when Trump was campaigning the first time around.
I bet you I never said that and I didn’t give a fuck about Trump because I’m not American, I just find all the shit swirling around him makes people lose their shit and say idiotic things like democracy will die if he’s elected again, it didn’t die the first time and last I checked he’s got 3 or 4 indictments going at the moment, plus now there is a different old idiot running things there is there not?
Could have really saved a lot of time if you started with "I don't know what I'm talking about."
Keep on being right and making all those assumptions and future predictions, you seem to be a political mastermind
I concede to your prodigious intellect, thanks to comment sections on the internet we have probably increased the amount of experts on the planet ten fold, congrats on being one of them
On it!
Rather be right than insane left nowadays.
I mean, they had a reasonable shot at overturning the election. Just a few people did the right thing to stop it, but it could have been bad. Also, the indictments don't mean shit if he's reelected. What do you think happens to this country if he's found guilty and then pardons himself?
The different "old idiot" isn't a fascist. You got any other bullshit we can deal with to make it clear trump is a serious threat?
I’ll reply to you but this also applies to the other idiots, I think trump is a clown, the post I replied to was saying that person was being hyperbolic about democracy being lost if he’s elected, that’s not praise for Trump that’s me calling out that person for saying shit that’s gonna happen in the future like they magically know it’s absolutely going to happen because they hate Trump
I also never said anywhere the other old idiot was a fascist, just that he’s another old idiot
So it’s clear to you Trump is a moron, Biden also a moron, it’s 2 steaming piles of shit one is just less stinky (Biden)
What is clear is that you are lumping Trump and Biden in the same category. That does read in your earlier comments as if you think they are the same in all ways. No, neither are really that great, but one is substantially better than the other.
Ya that’s true I do lump them in the same category all politicians are scumbags but you are right Trump is ultra shit compared to Biden
As a non-American, perhaps you should defer to people less ignorant.
Absolute genius we have here… can’t use basic reasoning skills unless I live in that country..
This is the dumbest thing I’ve read in months
Basic reasoning is no replacement for, you know, living and being immersed in the shitshow. Also, basic reasoning should allow you to recognize the danger of allowing someone that disregards democratic principles to sit at the same table as those that respect and uphold the constitution.
