Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

It'll be extremely bitter sweet, one day seeing a AmeriNazi and asking em WTF they were thinking electing a guy that literally says the economy will be worse, to boost the economy.

Trump is going to increase MUH LEGAL immigration by a lot. Wages are going to go down as result and unions will be gutted. Will police still support Trump when they end up making 18 USD/HR? That's what he means by hardships.

Corporations are going to see a huge increase in profits because they're going to cut labor cost by importing cheap labor.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think you misunderstand the method of imposing the hardship. The police will be better paid and there to impose the planned hardship on the ordinary people, including many of the people who always vote for him.

It's honestly rather strange and depressing watching the US from the outside. I have rarely seen the most downtrodden segment of the population being so gung ho about the worst parts of the system that's been oppressing them their whole lives. It's amazing to me to see so many super patriotic black people for example. How? For what? Why would you blindly defend the same structures that've been oppressing you for centuries? It'd be less depressing and more funny if it wasn't for the massive destructive power these people get access to when they win, power that they subsequently unleash on the rest of the world.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Why would you blindly defend the same structures that’ve been oppressing you

college, housing benefits... healthcare.

funny, the exact same things conservatives have made impossible to obtain....

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Likely the police will make even more, and will be hired to bust unions.

  • A lot of Americans think when he talks about doing bad things, it's all talks,
  • when he talks about making the economy better, it's all in good faith,
  • all the "necessary evil" can be undone in the next election cycle,
  • and business controls the narrative, that would highly benefit under trump.

Yeah, and boring and ineffective liberals that trying to take the moral high ground every time the right takes yet another low.

And somehow voters said yes to this.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

They said yes because most are only looking at a rose colored picture of Trump. A lot of effort has gone into identifying the different ideological bubbles and catering an image of Trump specifically tailored for them, in the way only money can. We will likely never know to what extent given how fast transparency has been disappearing.

I'm a Struggling Middle Class Hispanic Woman and I'm GLAD that I voted for the Man who promised to Deport me, force my Daughter to Carry her Rapist's baby, create HUGE Financial Turmoil and Enslave me!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah let's blame it on the minorities and women instead of the misogynist, racist, absolute piece of shit white men who voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

I'm a Misogynist Racist Piece of Shit White Man and I voted for the man who PROMISES to Hurt everyone I don't like (Including my Wife and Daughters) so why bring Me into this?
