    The alarms have kinda been sounding since Trump declared his candidacy. I can only hope the FBI et al. are doing their jobs and preparing to counter insurrection, and that the National Guard are on alert.

      I hope that law enforcement is protecting me.

      If you’re rich then you’re well protected. If not, buy a gun for self defense.

        That’s a poor paraphrasing of what I said. I’m not going to the capital with a gun. All I need is a safe transfer of power to the duly elected president.

          To the capital? No need. The threats already at my door.

              No, neoliberal minimization.

                The concept of neoliberal minimization is at your doorstep and you need a gun to defend yourself from it? Lmao.

            You’ve got some kind of agenda here and I don’t even know if I agree with it or not, but it has nothing to do with what I said here.

              The FBI isn’t protecting you from shit because you’re poor like the rest of us. Buy a gun for self defense.

              Not understanding is a choice you’ve made. I’m fine with your choice. But, pretending it’s a failure to communicate on my part is the sort of gaslighting that’ll alienate many, online and IRL.

                I don’t think it’s a failure to communicate. I think it’s a case of you injecting your agenda where it doesn’t apply because you want a soapbox to stand on. That is off-putting and alienating. Chime in with your spiel when it’s appropriate to the context. Police protecting me has nothing to do with presidential succession and it’s weird to bring it up in that context.

                In another context I might well agree with you, but right now it feels like an attempt to redirect to make this about your agenda. You don’t need me for that.

                  I see. Anything you don’t like is an “agenda” warranting ad hominem.

    Because more people now consider politically motivated violence acceptable. That’s the whole story.

    Is it because right-wing terrorists are increasingly radicalized every year?

    I’m skipping this one because I don’t need to be made depressed about the situation and I absolutely agree that we’re lined up to experience domestic-terrorism.

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!
