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!

During the last election, there were a band of Yahoo's running around with a spray paint marker putting blue dots in front of houses that had Democrat yard signs.
They're preparing for civil war. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but they are marking targets.
For years, the American center-left has been casting these threats as illegitimate. Gravy seals, yall queda, meal team six, etc.
And now since they have successfully downplayed this threat, we are woefully unprepared. People need to get armed, now.
No. you're just trying to stir up a civil war. People need to go drink tea with their neighbours, now.
Ahh , yes two sugars please.
Now tell me again why you feel that forcing a mother with a fatal pregnancy to go full term to kill herself is better than a boarding the fetus.
Well you see, other people, not this girl would take advantage of it. And she's in God's hands anyway.
Mmm, this is quite good is it Yorkshire Gold?
And when a child shows up to your door and rings the bell looking for help how is it that you believe you're in the right to shoot them in the face?
Well, you see, man has to protect himself...
I really don't think I could stomach tea with these people.
No, you should definitely not drink tea with those people, but your neighbours? Who have been told to fear you because you are black/white/blue/red or rainbow coloured. Been told that you want destroy their way of living by their echo chambers, by targeted manipulation on social media, by sensationallist tradional media. they have been told to prepare for civil war like the person I replied to. That's all people constantly hear, no-one is telling them to talk to their neighbours.
They're already arming themselves for a civil war and openly calling themselves domestic terrorists, and your response is tea? You're naive if you think neighborliness is enough to avoid the coming conflict, they've already killed Americans.
If you're from denmark I don't think you can appreciate how radicalized these neighbors have become through extremist news and social media.
/s ?
Yes /serious
That doesn’t matter
All that matters is the side the army takes
Now if you’re looking to start a terrorist group, that would be much more effective than buying a gun. However there are obvious downsides to that too
