Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Neat. One of the first groups to be targeted by fascists to consolidate power are those who oppose them politically. Remember those concentration camps that were only being used for the criminal illegal immigrants? And now they're for any immigrants? And sometimes citizens? Guess who they're going to be used for next.

Americans, you stand at a crossroads. Decades from now what will you want to tell your families you were doing when the fascists came for the next group?

I barely have time to shower let alone protest fascism.

This is by design. Those in power have the money, time, and security to actively plan oppression and suppression. Keeping us in a survival state keeps us from advocating change.

Not even worth protesting unless you and everyone else do it armed. Unarmed protests get attacked by cops with chemical weapons every time.

I won't have to tell them anything if I'm dead

Americans, you stand in the crosshairs - FTFY

Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

Come and get me you Cheeto sucking bitch.

Considering the number of "Trump supporters" is decreasing by the day, I'd say they're gonna have a numbers problem pretty quick. It's tough to have 1/3 of the country keeping the other 2/3 under their thumb

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

Why do you think they are funding things like ICE while trying to buy up/break all media?

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

That's why they've been operating the way they have been.

Target the weakest links, hope no one stands up for them. They want to even out the numbers before people start to actual fight back.

This bitch needs to rot in prison.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Why put them in prison when they can be hanged for crimes against humanity?

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Can they? Does the US have a capital offence law against that

Eat me you blonde troglodyte

Ken Klippenstein strikes again. Man is hard carrying journalism

[–] Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

I just hope they don't Gary Webb or John Barnett him soon. I really worry about that especially with the dickheads in charge right now.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

So exactly what was all but said publicly is... True? I'm shocked!

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Stalin-esque

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

This is just the Klippenstein claim again, regurgitated by raw story.
