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!

Someone needs to, our government threw them under the bus
There's a sign you can see in many shops that sell beautiful but fragile items: LOVELY TO LOOK AT, DELIGHTFUL TO HOLD, BUT ONCE YOU BREAK IT, THEN IT'S SOLD. You can say the same about democracy.
He cheated, Russia literally ran interference campaigns. How are people accepting this?
Between the gerrymandering, electoral college, stacked courts in case it was close, the whole thing was rigged already. All the land outvoted the people.
I mean, he's also going to win the popular vote as well. This isn't a land outvoting people thing. He just won out-and-out.
All the gerrymandering and EC fixes in the world wouldn't have changed the outcome if he just got more votes.
Because even if they did, it doesn’t matter. Welcome to the other side of the conspiracy believer coin
Because regardless of Russian interference he won by people actually voting him . This is who the US is.

"projects" is doing some megaton lifting
I mean, reading the Project 2025 Manifesto ain't that hard.
I am Indian. How will this affect us
The world is going to be fucked by climate change way more and faster than it otherwise would have been.
The US has a massive political and cultural influence all over the world. Trump's victory will open a whole new Pandora's box when it comes to geopolitics, climate (in)action, and support of racist, sexist and xenophobic policies. His campaign strategy will probably be used by politicians all over the world, and will embolden them to try more and more unhinged bullshit.
I don't know how it will personally affect you, but it probably will in many many direct and indirect ways.
