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.

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.

Honestly, I think that America we knew needs to be broken, on progressive terms. The conservatives are aiming to shatter America, such as Curtiss Yarvin and Peter Thiel. As such, the best option is to oblige them by cutting them out of our society. That means taking control of real things, such as factories, farms, hospitals, mines, weather stations, water, and so forth.
They worship money. Let them have it, in its meaningless glory when there is no people nor property for it to command.
This is accelerationist bullshit. You're conveniently leaving out all of the innocent people that will die and face oppression while you allow fascists to destroy our country. Because you think that (somehow, against all evidence to the contrary) that the American people will replace it all with a progressive utopia.
It's short sighted and naive, at best.
America is already not in good shape. Trump is already killing people by sending them to the CECOT death camp in El Salvador, it is likely that the budget bill will pass, stealing away medicaid and SNAP from people, the destruction of NOAA, defunding of sciences, arrests of European tourists or returning citizens, warrantless arrests at courthouse hearings, and so forth.
I would like to assume that our politicians would see sense and end the madness, but that can't be counted on. It is best if people get into the mindset that things will change, and to be in a fighting mood to force it to be for the better. At worst, people will feel silly for over-reacting. But if the regime continues on this path? Fewer people will fall prey to the regime, because they have been preparing.
I largely agree, but you say at worst people will feel silly. No, at worst what you suggest ends with death and suffering on a level that is hard to imagine.
