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!

I do wonder, though, what they'd do when
crops are left rotting in fields and houses and buildings aren't rebuilt after disasters because all undocumented immigrants have been reported;
after LGBT+ folks hide themselves and "fit in" for safety like it's the 1950s;
when there are masses of unemployed young people born after abortion and contraception are outlawed living in a nation unequipped to handle them;
after the education and environmental protection systems cease to exist and the country falls behind in every metric of a developed nation from an absence of knowledge pools and poison in everything.
What will they do after creating an environment that fosters stability, innovation, and a thriving society like we saw in the mid-2010's Middle East. It sure sounds like a great and prosperous future, doesn't it. Right?...
It's pretty hilarious that Republicans want to get rid of undocumented immigrants when our food and shelter are literally dependent on them. Apparently food and shelter are not that important.
In order:
Use prisoners to do the labor
Crackdowns, secret police, and full on lavender scare shit
Drive them to crime then imprison them to use for labor
Why would they care? They’re planning to be in charge
Fascists do nothing but destroy their homes and neighbors. They will make everyone miserable and their plans will suck, but so long as they can stay angry, indignant, and targeting someone they don’t care that they just got their country turned to rubble.
Historically, dictators go hand in hand with peaceful transfers of power after their term is done!
