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!

Never thought I would see a flood of Americans refugees coming to Canada to escape a tyrannical government...
I guess that's what you get when you elect a criminal with dementia as president.
Really? People have been talking about it since the Bush administration. Until now things hadn't gotten bad enough for people to actually do it in large numbers, but people saying that if the Republicans win they'd move to Canada has been repeated so often over the decades that it became a bit of a joke.
Trump 2.0 is WAY worse than any Bush.
Without the crucial steps the W Bush admin took, there would be no Trump. It's not that Trump isn't worse but they are part of the same fascist movement, just further developed.
We are talking people fleeing the USA for their lives. This is Trump phenomena as he is demonizing and literally going after dissenters.
Bush Jr. started doing that. I recall seeing protestors who opposed the Iraq invasion being arrested for dissent. Remember Dixie Chicks? Yeah, they got cancelled for that. And, lets also not forget about the random violence against anyone remotely kinda like an Arab, to include Punjabis, Liberians, Somalians, Burmese, etc.
I feel like waaaay too many people forgot about post 9-11 shit.
Plus don't forget Bush Jr was NOT ELECTED he lost the election and became president anyway.
Uh, noooo. He got 5 out of 9 votes, fair and square, and won. It was a landmark decision.
Those who forget post 9-11 bullshit are doomed to repeat it. They were beating up Sikhs no fucks given.
I know, but it's the "never thought" part that I'm disputing. People have been thinking of this situation for a long time.
Agree - if people were thinking it before, now they are DOING.
Remember when we thought Bush was bad? God I'd love to have him instead
I can’t believe GWB = good old days now. My how we’ve fallen
I mean.... There was that whole Vietnam draft thing in the 60s/70s...
Getting close to Handmaid's Tale every day.
