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!

MODERATORS
They won’t. Even if they’re angry with him, they undoubtedly realize that his policies, on a whole, benefit them.
Do they?
Remember that it’s people like this that believed there was a left-leaning pedophile ring based out of the basement of a single level pizza restaurant. Fact checking isn’t high on the list of many people who follow such ideologies.
They're not the upper 1%. These policies don't benefit them.
Dismantling the FBI's domestic counter-terrorism monitoring of the far-right absolutely benefits them. They won't see any financial gain. But they'll stay out of jail as they commit hate crimes or get off with a slap on the wrist. Not mass-shooters, mind you. But a lot of others committing smaller, less spotlighty crimes.
You think all of his supporters are terrorists?
No, that would be silly. My mother voted for him. She's certainly not a terrorist. I think a lot of far-right would-be terrorists are happy that he likes their politics, however.
Okay, but I don't even think they're close to the majority of his supporters. That might even be close to another 1% figure. I stand by my statement that his policies are not helping his supporters.
The article is about the far-right. We're not talking about his average voters. Therefore, we don't disagree, but we are talking about different things.
I wouldn't even think the fat right as a whole is mostly terrorists. The terrorists are the most extreme of the extreme.
Why is everyone forgetting the actual attempt on Trump's life by a little right-wing shit? It was just a year ago.
I don't think they will because there are 350,000,000 Americans in this country and the two assassination attempts were clearly plants.
Out of 350,000,000 Americans at least a few of them are looking for a way to halt the regime. The problem isn't people being angry enough or benefitting too much. it's lack of opportunity.
Hitler survived 42 attempted assassinations. Possibly more. That was with a population of ~80,000,000.
Trump is gaurded far better than Hitler was, has access to far more resources than Hitler did, and his circle of trust seems to be far more exclusive than Hitlers. The heritage foundation has been running this show under different names for well over two centuries. This is a game that authority has lost time and time again, but the scales get larger and larger each time.
That’s cos they all have a micro penis and will forever be mad at everything. Their mental fortitude is outwardly displayed through the baby penis they possess.
