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!

You wanted a circus, now clutch your pearls as the clowns riot. Democracy’s corpse twitches while you gawk at the monster you stitched from Fox propaganda and Facebook memes. “Not what we signed up for”—as if arsonists get to rage when the flames lick their own shoes. The system’s rotted, but you’d rather blame the maggots than admit you’re elbow-deep in the carcass.
Enjoy the show. Your messiah’s a carnival barker, and you’re the rubes who bought tickets to the end. No refunds.
My Trumper dad told me that he has never seen his industry this slow before (starting in January). He has worked in this industry for over 40 years. He then goes on to say that he can't wait for Trump to fix the mess that we are in.
WTF? He is the reason your industry is so slow. How can he not see that it started being slow once Trump came into power???
Imagine if they could imagine how the rest of us feel
What is some? I mean if 1% of his supporters are having second thoughts is that enough to care about. I mean we need REAL numbers not just a few people who suddenly woke up and made the news.
I dunno if I like articles like this, because I haven't really heard anyone really say this. I like in podunk Midwest state and folks around here are set that things are already getting better, and if they aren't, it's because of the last administration or because Democrats keep getting in the way.
Online, comments from articles and a certain sub reddit are all bouncing around ecstatically and shouting "WINNING" with everything that is happening. I'd like to think the mirage is fading, but I have been able to find truth of that just yet.
Lmao fuck all of them. This is exactly what they signed up for. You fucked around now find out you worthless cunts.
The reason I find it hard to sympathize with the people who voted for him is because he's been advertising everything he's currently doing for the past few years, and now the people who voted for him are surprised that he's actually doing what he'd said he'd do.
He literally said he didn't care about people and just wanted votes
that's really rich. chaos is the reason he got into the office in the first place, and was offering nothing but chaos for 2 years before the election.
Bullshit. Trump supporters have no idea what "market turbulence" means and are cheering the executive orders. This is just manipulative feel-good bullshit.
This, I keep hearing about how "Thanks to Trump common sense is being restored!"
And when I ask what they mean by "Common Sense", they tell me the most transphobic shit I've ever heard in my life and give me a lecture about how it's "time for me to stop playing dress up"
And I'm like "Dress up? I'm a fucking tomboy who happens to be a transgirl, what exactly am I dressing up as?"
I know what they mean, but pretending I don't makes them angrier, and at this point I hope they have strokes.
Um, he is doing exactly what he said he would do. These people just thought being white would keep them safe.
Not even. There are even people in immigrant families that voted for him because "he's only going to deport the bad ones" and then [surprised Pikachu] a bunch of their own family get deported
There's stupid, and there's zealotism, but stupid zealots are the worst
Friend of mine is Mexican living in Texas and voted for him because he thought it would help him get a job. I didn’t ask for more of an explanation but that is the kind of shit we are dealing with.
They really wrote a whole-ass article about two random schmucks lol
"best we can do is several genocides"
The perma stun proceeds.
Bullshit. I live in a red state. They're not turning on him at all. You can always find a couple of people to express any view that you want to amplify and write an article pretending they're representative of their entire group.
Exactly, go to any conservative space and they're just happy that the "libs are getting owned."
Wow a 5% decline... ... ... ...
A root cause analysis of these people lead me to draw one conclusion.
THEY ARE DUMBFUCKS!!
no, assholes....this is EXACTLY what you signed up for. revel in it.
you didn't just accept it
you fucking demanded it.
now live with it.
Yes you DID. YES YOU DID!
And it's going to be a whole fuck-ton more than just economic instability, you dumbasses.
Zero sympathy, tough shit and FAFO. The Orange Stain will break the US record for unemployment, which he currently holds from his first term. The only event that might save his ass, is a big fucking war. My bet is on Iran.
Vote for a grand wizard, expect collateral damage from the fireballs.
Geneticist Nicholas Schuch plans to move savings to Swiss Francs, expecting ongoing chaos.
Wow can you imagine your face getting eaten by leopards this hard? \s
Chaos is exactly what you signed up for, maybe read the fucking fine print next time.
