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!

Since Trump's election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

“To defend themselves.”

Fuckin’ hell.

Try again.

To defend themselves and the people they care about? What are you on about son.

That account is a fascist enabler that just spreads FUD

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

It's wild how many people are updooting comments and users without making any effort to understand what they're saying. It's like reddit all over again.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, how dare I point out that Americans are sleepwalking into their country's final few years.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's not what you are doing and you know it. Fascist enabler. Have fun licking the boot in your country once you have helped them take us over.

“I’ve tried nothing and have already given up.” Excellent work.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Go play in traffic. I've done more than you, including calling out fascist collaborators such as yourself.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I’m sure the snarky sign you took to the parade was excellent.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

And you're right back to collaboration with the fascists. It's fine. Those of us that actually hate fascism aren't making the same mistakes our grandparents did. We will find you.

You guys really will pick a fight with literally everyone but MAGA, eh?
