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.

- 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.

The Almighty Dollar, look how it enslaves us. Can't stop paying rent, or bills. Can't bow out in protest. Need to get money, need to get food. Have to keep the machine spinning, even as we turn rapidly towards our graves. We are incapable of thinking more than a day ahead. No one has stopped to ask what this time next year will look like at this pace.

Muricans are stupid and will continue to be stupid. It's their thing
they've anti-invested in education. don't expect it to get much better. they're also encouraging all the "patriots" to breed like rabbits. i don't think mike judge knew he was writing a manuscript for project 2025
They've told us what they're going to (and want to) do every step of the way.
But Trump fans pretend stuff isn't going to happen... even when it's literally happening
On top of that, Trump is 100% going to try to stay for another term
I do not promote violence. You should not commit violence. It is generally not worth it. Mmkay? Want that to be 100% clear. Additionally, violence is what Trump wants so he has an excuse to declare martial law/suspend elections/etc. It's very obvious. Violence = bad.
All that said, unless America lets itself descend into the authoritarian pit, I don't see any way out that won't involve violence at some point/level. We are beyond what was happening during the civil rights era. These people aren't interested in compromise and working together. They want to dismantle America's culture of diversity to replace it with their own.
I'm not sure there are any other methods that work if it comes down to it. Even people on the left are in denial; these people aren't joking about wanting to attack libs. They're actively preparing for it by calling all libs mentally ill, or that liberalism is a disease, etc.
Do you see what I'm saying? How are you going to try to argue with some of these people? Not all republicans are all in on this - but there's enough in power that this is very, very dangerous
All I can say is that I truly hope the courts enforce the constitution. Bring those people back and give them due process. I don't want them deported, but if that ends up happening, at least it's legal &... I struggle to say humane.
Run liberals as GOP candidates. Then vote Republican. But vote for liberals.

We'd really like it if you guys did something about this.
The problem is a what to actually do. Congress and the courts are controlled by people who largely agree with Project 2025. Most of the American public has no clue that it's a real thing, and thinks it's so out there that anybody telling them about it is on LSD and not credible.
Stop going to work. Everyone. Stop paying your bills and taxes. Everyone. Collapse the economy from the inside. If even only those that voted against the regime did, it would make a massive difference to so many businesses large and small. Hit em I the money. That and aggression are all they understand. Doing little to nothing isn't gonna work out for anyone.
You mean to tell me, that in America. Where you can legally acquire, a genuine, US Army certified Rocket-Propelled Grenade from a gun show in Vegas for cash..... you guys can't think of what to actually do?
Zoinks Scoob, I think I'm getting a clue.
I stand on my own and fire a weapon is pretty useless. To actually succeed, I need a lot more people on my side. Enough that we could probably impeach and remove those responsible for this mess.
True, but it doesn't take much, congress might be more inclined to step in with some percussive maintenance.
Also, monkey see, monkey do. You know?

The vast majority of the people who would actually fight on the right side of history have been thoroughly pacified by the rhetoric that using a weapon would be unacceptably barbaric, and that if you can't make the change you want with words, you're just not finding the right words. We'll be holding quippy signs and chanting about justice even as the country literally crumbles around us.
a lot of people think it'll only take a few hungry days for an uprising, but i don't think they realize that's exactly the plan. this is actually scary. the lack of fifth column pushback, the bending-over from major universities.. these are all really clear indicators that what's going on right now isn't just some old, crazy dude spouting shit.

Problem:
The people who have argued hardest for the ability to buy things like that and actually do it and have hoarded the weapons already are the racists
So if we try an unorganized attack of any kind, we give the insane motherfuckers who want Red Dawn to happen a reason to start unloading. I've personally seen some of what these crazies have stockpiled, that is not a can you want to open
We're basically fucked on using weapons until those guys are hurting enough to be on our side, which might be too late to matter, anyway
Ukrainians stood up to what was thought to be the second strongest military in the world at the time, with little more than styrofoam and gasoline.
And if they kill all the workers and soldiers who will be left to fight their wars and make their goods?
That was standing against an outside invader. Americans don't have the same luxury.
Seem to have lots of excuses though. To each their own I suppose. My country will stand up with less. I'll be one of those doing it should it come to pass.
We can all see it's Russia, if that helps.

When this madness is over, the next administration should outlaw the Heritage Foundation somehow. They clearly have proven to be actively working against the interests of the American people.
Ha. You think this is just going to end one day
oh, it will, but i think we both agree that it won't be in november 2028

Let's send them to El Salvador accidentally, I hear they don't allow take backsies.
We can even crowd fund the Bukele bribe.
i'm definitely not the only person who calls him Bukkake, right?
