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.

I truly wish these people would wake up. I know we're mostly smarter than these people so the schadenfreude it's easy to come by, but most of us aren't thriving under capitalism, and 100% of us are compromising voting for one of the two viable political parties.

I didn't vote for the guy and even I didn't even imagine the level of destruction and chaos that's come so far.

It's been pretty astonishing. I was expecting a lot of vindictive attacks on those who he though had wronged him, and an element of tearing down anything that might regulate his buddies' industries, but this is a level or 5 beyond that. It's like their trying to go as fast as possible, doing as much damage as possible before someone stops them. In fact, I suspect it's exactly that, they know that some form of opposition will eventually form, and are trying to get as much done as possible before that happens. I imagine they can't believe their luck at how long it's taking.

For what it's worth, that's exactly what they said they'd do, and for that reason, in the introduction to Project 2025.
