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!

THANKS WE KNOW THAT PART, CAN YOU TELL US HOW TO FIX IT?

Haven't you had gun nuts banging on about what you do in this scenario for decades?
The ones that would be classified as gun nuts are the same ones that are fine with what he's doing. Except when the leopard goes after them.
Oh for sure, I completely understand that. But that's just because they don't have the spine to actually bite their bark—theory-wise though, it's a pretty sound plan to end tyranny and people with more backbone could freely follow it.
Their banging on was always more about racism. Their definition of tyrannical government is "government with gays, trans, women, and brown people in charge."
This is the only idea I've had so far

Apart from that, they can storm the capitol and stay there until he resigns.
But since this won't happen any time soon, we have to see millions more posts about trump.
We already know and various users from other countries have very explicitly told us. We're just waiting for more answers palatable to us because most of us aren't willing to risk anything.
I assume you mean having the citizens rise up and overthrow the government? Problem is, if you try to do that in your own, you'll get arrested/killed without really stopping anything, and if you try to organize with people online, you're really likely to be get arrested before you can pull it off. So I think it's not quite as easy as "we know how to fix it we're just lazy and scared"
Well one person was pretty darn close to solving the whole issue but they kind of faltered at the last moment.
Trump’s inevitable death won’t solve the issues that caused him. I don’t know what will. We’d have to go pretty far down the chain of succession to hit “not a fascist”.
You would have to ban podcasting, youtube, blogs, and fox news.
I was at a hardware store today and behind the employees at counter was a TV that blares fox 24/7.
I couldn't take it for 2 minutes
Yeah, I was just on a flight and saw a dude across the aisle that was mainlining all the worst people on twitter. Space laser lady, the racist cat, the nazi automaker...this dude was just liking everything and replying frantically. He was flipping through everything and replying so quickly that I felt pity as much a loathing. It was absolutely pathetic. Dude's brain is melted.
I left x which sucks because blue sky doesn't have the sports reporters I follow or not nearly the amount of other interests.
Who's the space laser lady besides MTG?
Oh that's her, I was just trying to be insulting haha
Well, go down that chain, then. Haven't they been going on for generations about how their second amendment is for exactly this situation?
Solving the underlying issues are important too, of course, but that's a long term solution. I'd like to see a short-term patch be applied before America literally launches wars of conquest against its neighbours.
I hear what you're saying, but Little t is a symptom, just like Hitler was a symptom.
It's like "Goddamn it, I wish my stomach didn't hurt all the time." Doctor: "You have pancreatric cancer."
Yeah but Harris winning would have least bought us some time it's too bad she couldn't stick the landing.
The cancer is more advanced than we had imagined.

You know, it puts a smile on my face every time, that someone recognizes me.
Remember to visit the range on windy days, folks.
