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!

I hope we actually get a 2028 election
Such an underrated comment fr.
I doubt we'll even have the 2026 midterms. HitlerPig can't afford to lose his majority in either chamber, or Dems will have control of investogative committees with subpoena and arrest powers. So he'll engineer a justification for Martial Law, and suspend elections.
He'll have to time it right, so that the courts can't properly react, so it will probably happen late next summer, likely with a series of violent attacks on demonstrations, which ought to be common and huge by next summer. He'll just encourage his J6 RedHats to instigate trouble at protests around the nation, and they'll respond since he's already pardoned and paid them (he's planning on compensating them for their trouble). Many won't miss an opportunity to get a free pass to fuck up liberal protesters.
Once we've missed the 2026 election, it will be easier to ignore the 2028 election. Of course, the outcry will be enormous, but it's Martial Law, so he can put loudmouths in prison without due process, and there is will be no functional court system to stop him.
