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!

Great job, dipshits. I hope this personally impacts each and every person that voted for him.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 88 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Oh it definitely will. Just his tariff plans are gonna turn everywhere into a 3rd world country, not just the republican backwaters.

At this point, it's just desserts. The US had it coming for even letting him run in the first place. That being said, Republican backwaters are going to get fucked way harder than metro populations. Poor boomers are going to get wiped out without social security, Medicaid, or kids that love them anymore. The south can enjoy the next hurricane without FEMA aid. Have fun watching your loved ones get deported because you thought this only impacted "illegals", assholes. I have my popcorn ready.

Fuck em.

Unfortunately it's worse than this. It seems like the GOP has successfully indoctrinated a new generation if incel supporters in high enough numbers to matter. If this trend continues the boomers can die and we'll still be fucked.

I agree with everything except that last bit:

Fuck ~~em~~ all of us.

The splashback on this is going to hit everyone. I'm trying really hard not to be alarmist, but what happens with the American government literally has ramifications for everyone. We might not feel the hit right away, but the ripples will lap your shores too...

Ohh shit, I didn't even consider the kids canceling the parents.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They will find a way to blame Democrats for it though

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 hours ago

If they're not rounded up and shot....

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 46 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It's going to impact an enormous amount of people who didn't vote for him either though.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 27 points 12 hours ago

Its also going to impact the other 2/3rd of voters that dont give a fuck and dont vote at all. I hate this country so much

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 12 hours ago

It will and they will put it on Biden

[–] Thrife@feddit.org 10 points 12 hours ago

It definitely will and they still will blame the other party.

[–] schema@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

One side of me hopes they outlaw computer games and porn like it's laid out in project 2025. Unfortunately, it will hit everyone, but I fear that this is gonna happen anyway.

[–] Angrywaffle2@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Me too. I would love that positive change in my life.
