Live your life in a way that doesn't require protection from the angry masses. I've somehow managed to do that for over 50 years.

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.

Isn't that socialism? Government housing for me, but not for thee is pretty typical, but it's also good they don't feel welcome when spreading hate.
I would think this is fascism. When elected officials are housed in military quarters.
Not an expert at all though. Fascism loves to take over the military though.
Both Soviet-style communism (which is what "idealistic" socialism inevitably devolves into) and fascism, when applied to real societies and allowed to fester, have a lot in common.
Only if you think socialism is when the government does things
No, when it provides all your needs.
That's doing things, governments do that under every system. You won't believe the houses the UK pays for its leader caste.
Socialism is the workers owning the means of production. This is a corrupt government doing corrupt things so chickenshit cowards can feel important.
The uk doesn’t generally provide housing. It does provide a monetary allowance for those that don’t have a primary residence near Westminster. Places like downing st are for the convenience of the state, not the politician, like the White House. The royals, on the other hand…
This is very different. This is people getting given government housing because they are feeling unwelcome in the community. It’s hypocritical and, as the article points out, it’s pushing out the people this housing was designed to accomodate.
Of course it’s not really socialism, as it’s not for everyone. The point is the state is proving their wants (not needs) while they deny the needs of others.
The Nazis are running scared.
It probably means they're planning to do something really bad, really soon. Yaaaay. Fun for all..
100%. The move itself is an admission of guilt compared to past presidencies, D & R. I worry every night for our union in the US. I really don’t know if we’ll last.
America as you know it is already over. It's just not official yet.
I think the best thing that could happen to the United States is a clean secession of all the non-Nazi states from the union, with two countries left - a Nazi one that will perish under the weight of its own idiotic non-productive redneck population, and the other, new union.
Unfortunately, what's more likely to happen - if anything happens at all and the real freedom-loving Americans don't simply submit to the yoke of fascism - is a civil war.
It’s the Russian dream fulfilled: a fractured, divided union. Not like we didn’t ask for it.
My wife and I were saying that Gen Z and on have no “America was good” reference. I’m late 30s, she’s early 40s, and both of have some image of what that meant. For my kids, I have no clue. We’re in a privileged state, but I don’t feel safe in any way.
I'm gen X and the America I grew up in disappeared thoroughly and completely a quarter century ago. That's when I left the country never to return.
There's nothing worth saving left in America - only good people who are are stuck there now and deserve better.
I can't wait to be arrested when I vote for the wrong people next week. That'll be real fun.
They’re afraid of the backlash that’s inevitably coming.
Stephen Miller needs it, in case some lunatic draws some more chalk messages in front of his house.
Next up: no more license plates for their cars, and all the windows can be tinted.
