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.

It's not exactly my genre of music but i like it anyway.

It does feel like chaotic times are ahead. At some point, the republicans will do something so vile that people will say "No", and when that happens there will be violence.

I don't want a civil war. I don't want unrest. But I do want every republican and their enablers removed from power, and the billionaires stripped of their wealth. I don't know how to get from here to there.

I disagree. If we aren't up in arms now we never will be. There won't be a moment where they go too far. That moment already happened when project 2025 came out and he was still elected. Now that every element of project 2025 is underway there won't be some great shocking moment. Just a slow slide until one day you realize the only real chance to stop the coup was at the start of the presidency.

You're probably right. Dark days ahead.

But I hold out a little hope that people will fight back

Violence isn't the answer, it is the question. And the answer depends on whether people have been stripped enough of their rights and dignity.

I always like to say: there was a way America gained its independence and it wasn't by standing around waving signs
