Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.

Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.

If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.

Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.

For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.

Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Our best hope for the next four years is that they spend so much time fighting amongst themselves, they'll be too busy to completely fuck everything else up. I'm sure they'll try, but god, I hope there's still a Department of Education in 2029. Lack of critical thinking skills is what got us these morons in the first place, we have enough stupid people in this country already.

I share your sentiment but I think they will attempt to out cunt each other on being vile, petty children. The will try to be as punitive as possible with policy and neglectful in their duties to facilitate the mechanisms of functional government. And, yes maybe not completely because they are probably not even competent enough to do that.

I'm sorry my American friends but you're in for some catastrophic shitfuckery.

More likely while the public squabble takes our attention those behind the scenes will calmly remake everything to their design. While we notice nothing but the squabble...

Im not sure how effective that will be. Part of the reason they are turning on each other is that everyone else has been so quiet since the election. If there were mass protests right now they would all be united behind having BLM declared a terrorist movement or something, not focused on each other.

Oh no need to have organized protests. I believe we all have agreed that we're well past time where that will have any significant impact. Besides, it's the age of information! Fight back in ways our Republican friends won't understand.

The only use my twitter account gets is dropping "president musk" pics under random conservative posts.
