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!

no amount of constitution is going to help when his party is complicit and is the majority in congress and the courts.
You need a couple of amendments to that constitution then.
Here's the thing, you don't need to amend the constitution if you don't have anyone enforcing it.
Isn't that the point of the 2nd amendment? (Non-US person here, sorry). To bear arms (and arm bears 😆) against a tyrannical government? What will be the tipping point from egotistical piss-fairyfloss-haired manchild to certified tyrant?
Before that tipping point arrives (surely even The Fanta Menace wouldn't go so far as actually starting a military civil war), mass protests need to happen. Can anyone explain to me why the Democrat party aren't organising these? Or are there really THAT many people who think Donnie D-Cups is doing a good job for the US.
The Dems are busy matching shirts and 10 dems voted to sanction Al Green (the only vocal protester during trump’s speech). The Democratic Party is still a majority corporate party. My hope is we get some ex fed employees with some fight to primary some of these dems.
It's also winter and pretty much every facet of our society is designed to prevent it from occuring.
Mass Protests happened during Covid because everyone was at home. You can be sure they won't make that mistake again, no matter the cost.
