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!

I mean, yeah. He's literally threatening to kill us all.
Don't exaggerate. We dont know that he intends to kill us. Maybe the National Guard is only meant to maim or seriously injured us.
And it's not all either. He's only going to ~~kill~~ maim the Democrats. And black people. And brown people. And LGBT people. And women. And non-Christians. So, you know, as long as you're not in one of those groups, you'll be totally fine. For now. But maybe don't get too comfortable.
Not women, republicans need them to cook, clean and produce children.
As long as they aren't too mouthy and don't get any ideas about autonomy. So, things like driving, having a credit card or a bank account...nah. And birth control or abortion? Don't make me laugh.
Only the pink-haired ones, the feminists, trans-women, those with terminally complicated pregnancies, the victims of abusive husbands beating them to death, those seeking medical treatment they can't afford...
So long as you're healthy or wealthy, submissive and breedable, mindful and demure and all the other misogynistic ideas we make fun of because they shouldn't be real and serious, you'll be fine.
So, just more than half the country, at least at first.
When we should start to worry? When it’s too late?
Young, I couldn’t comprehend how Hitler was elected, disgraced then could come back and how the people let that happening.
Decades later, i really understand: complacency.
Someone bringing the presidency position just casually say in front of the press that he want to hurt its opponent... In public.
Imagine what he say in private, with all his yes men and psycho writer of project 2025 for example... And we know it’s not an accident, he reference hitler more than once... He is in admiration with dictators... he want to be one of them...
Yeah, please "don’t exaggerate".
Don’t learn from the history. You’re lucky he is also stupid and old...
My comment was meant to be sarcasm. I have to laugh lest I go insane.
Ho, sorry for my reaction
I see so many people not grasping how serious the situation is (or just saying: he’s jockiiiing) that my blood boil. Also because last summer, I saw my grandmother cry while she was remembering how she lost her sister during the first days of the WWII (killed in her house due to the bombing of the train station nearby). She was 5~6 yo and her sister 10yo. All of that because people didn’t react strongly enough to stop a party and a crazy man.
Good luck for the election
A fully armed batalion to remind us of his love nonetheless.
Forgot the /s at the end
I didn't think it was needed. I implied that it was acceptable to maim political rivals, myself included. And I used a quote from Dobby the house elf to do it. Thought the joke was apparent.
You're right - I must have forgot this was on Lemmy. If we were on FB or something like that then not everyone would get the implied /s - but fediverse users are quite a bit better in this regard.
