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!

And given how chicken shit Americans collectively are he'll most likely die of old age before facing extralegal responsibility for his crimes.
I mean there have been 2-3 assassination attempts on Trump, successful assassinations of multiple Democratic politicians, first Trump term Van Spronsen attacked an ICE detention center and just this week the killing of two National Guard members. I don't think America lacks the will to commit violence, most just lack proper direction.

2-3 attempts on a fascist causing mass suffering throughout the country and world doesn't sound like much when put in the context of 340 million people.
But assassination is the extreme end, even within the realms of legality there has been very little done to stop Trump. I can understand why, from within the Republican party, because his gain is their gain. But from everyone else, Democrat or not? I cannot grasp that.
Brazil dealt with their dictator problem, South Korea dealt with their dictator problem.
Why can't the supposed greatest, free-est, richest, country on the planet, with a supposed constitution and government system set up specifically to prevent tyrants, do it?
Could it be, America isn't the country it says it is? Could it be there needs to be a global shift on American exceptionalism? From both within and without the country.
