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.

Translation: Trump's brownshirts are going to kidnap American citizens that lost a roof over their heads to private capital firms and put them in concentration camps to be enslaved until they die.
I know that most Americans struggle to read beyond a level that most 11 year olds elsewhere can, but come on - surely they've seen the history channel or at least heard of the Holocaust? In the country with the most well-armed civilian population in the world, how much more of this shit are you people going to take?
Any American who thinks this is the line and that they will stop at homeless people and never target anyone like you: you are sorely mistaken.
It's not even really a line! Most Americans are only a few bad days away from being homeless themselves
It's so they can pick and choose who to vilify at will
Have you seen the "history channel" lately? It's like 5% history and the rest is all Ice Road Truckers, Ancient Aliens, etc.
Dont even look at the "learning" channel if you want to keep some semblance of sanity.
Such a shame, it was started by NASA and turned into that
Ancient Aliens, the show that relies on the assumption that throughout most of history humans have been too stupid to do anything unassisted. Given how stupid the general population is today, maybe they have a point
They should have kept being the WWII channel.
I don’t understand it, either. I know some people can feel helpless against a government, but something has to be done.
Ah, yes, something will fix this any day now. I mean, what do you suggest I do all by my lonesome? Hold a sign? The reality is that things will continue to get worse until a tragic event galvanizes people in to action. Until then we are all isolated. How are you going to coordinate any sort of movement against the government in a surveillance state with the most powerful military and police in the world? They were taking out progressive leaders like MLK and Malcolm X well before the internet made it so much easier to track people.
This post here probably communicates my point more effectively:
collapsed inline media
Nothing alone. When we fight alone, we lose. Organization is key.
I’m currently working with two organizations trying to do anything and everything we can do to help. It’s small, but it’s something.
Don’t try to do it alone, please.
For all your bluster Americans are such weak little babies when it comes down to it. Maybe that is why they need their guns to feel safe.
How many times have you stood up to your government and brought about change? Easier said than done, especially here where they have little qualms about using the police and military to viilent stamp out any sort of leftist movement. I'm sorry that I'm hoping there may be a way out of this that includes me still being here for my spouse and young kids.
Fucking Europeans laughing at the demise of America make me sick. Take your bad attitude the fuck out of this area dip shit
"It's hard so don't do anything" is a terrible outlook.
Good thing that's not what they're saying at all.
The history channel? You mean the one with the mermaid, dragon and aliens documentaries? I'm sure they've watched it.
