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!

So, in other words, Trump is going to do exactly what he told us he would do.

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 112 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

While being able to say that a majority of voters wanted it this way because they voted for him.

Trump didn't lie. This was all out there for everyone to see.

Anything else is just denying the reality that a majority of Americans are sheep and don't know what is good for them.

I don't like that reality either, but here we are. It's time for these people to lie in the bed of their own making.

Hold Trump voters and non voters accountable for the consequences of their actions and inaction. It's the only way forward.

Same justification he will use for a nationwide abortion ban and locking up his political opponents.

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Make no mistake, if Trump wants it, his supporters want it. I work with a bunch of morons. The country is in the hands of a cult.

My coworkers support political assassination, concentration camps for LGBT, forced Christianity. If Trump said it, they want it.

I am fully radicalized. Fuck this country.

Technically, he said he has no knowledge of Project 2025. Fortunately for Republicans, Trump’s team is all over it.

He said Project 2025 was great back in 2022 before the backlash, it isn't like he is consistent.

I missed that. Thanks for the source!

In an apparent attempt to troll their political opponents, MAGA allies gleefully announced the extreme conservative blueprint is ‘on the Trump agenda’

...In an apparent attempt to troll their political opponents...

I'm depressed of this shit

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh for sure - and the nutters will be saying it's 'divine mandate' since he survived those assassination attempts. We ain't seen shit yet.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I saw that very claim elsewhere today. Something something "god didn't make him turn his head at just the right moment for him to lose the election."

[–] Enkrod 3 points 2 weeks ago

Trump survives assassination: "God wants him to live!"

Trump dies in assassination: "Satan sent his demons to kill his foe!"

Isn't it great how their believes always tell them they are right and good and others are wrong and evil?

That sneaky bastard!
