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!

Sadly, this is probably exactly what's necessary for a percentage of magasses to realize they've been fucked over
Not gonna happen. I'm in a deep red area and the basic sentiment is that it's okay as long as he "saves this country".
that is them just talking out their asses, the minute it hurts them personally and not just in abstract the anger will start
we’ve seen this time and time

Well, yes...but they will direct that anger at the wrong places rather than accept they made a mistake
of course, they were planning on it regardless
I live around em too. And all the Cheeto has to do is give them someone else to blame for their hardships, and it'll work
Towards the end of WW2 when Germany was in shambles he still had supporters who fanatically stood by the mustache man.
Will there be pockets of angry people? Sure.
But many will just be angry at whoever Trump tells them to be angry at
oh no doubt they’ll be angry at the wrong people
What are the metrics they are judging this salvation by if not personal financial gain? I was under the impression this was the primary motivation for their support of him.
Ownage of the libs by taking away what the libs wanted, which was to help.. people like them. So the more they punch themselves in the face, the more they own the woke libs, and the better job trump is doing. See?
More like “Dems fault for being woke!”
I dunno, my idiot maga coworkers still think our taxes are less with his plan Lmao
