Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They know they’re fucking cooked in the midterms and probably 2028. The closer they are to losing power the more dangerous they’re going to get.
We should all be prepared for violence and for a long struggle against these fucks.
Cute... they will simply "win" massively in the midterms, no matter the actual votes. Then the media will publish totally ridiculous stories "analyzing" the reasons. And the complacent population will majorily accept it.
Yes, be prepared for violence if you believe and want to defend democacy. but don't fool yourself into believing that you won't be mostly alone.
Maybe but how about you ease it on the doom and gloom and those of us that can do something do what we can
When talk about what will very probably happen is already overwhelming you with doom and gloom then I don't want to guess your reaction to the actual reality of it happening.
Sorry that I have to tell you, but right now you can still learn to cope, prepare and accept what will happen. Getting surprised by reality because even now you can't handle it without a lot of unfounded optimism will be a much harsher awakening.
Maybe, but history is full of populations that were pretty docile... Until they weren't.
I've personally seen how patience and complacency in a supremely calm individual can evaporate when things are tight. People who are always careful and taking care of the long term abandoning all of that if they feel desperate in a situation.
If the ballot box doesn't work as promised by the existing social contract, that will be the last straw for some people. Particularly if asshats like Stephen Miller keep up the violent rhetoric about exactly how terrible they want to be to any dissenters. That's a lot of fear, rage, and impotence for folks to get hit with, and it has a much higher risk of bubbling over than you would imagine.
I'll confess to thinking I'm personally unlikely to risk things, but other people have surprised me
Exactly. Remember '24 felt off? They fucking took that shit with Vlad and Elon's help. Why would they not rig '26?
The reddit defeatists are here.
If you want to give up, go do that somewhere silently. Because when you post online about how there is no hope and all is lost, you sound like a propoganda bot.
Telling people all is well, elections will turn out great, they don't need to do anything, and -most importantly!- they don't need to be prepared for any actual kind of resistence, because the fascist regime taking over the US will totally not cheat, lie and break laws to stay in power is the sane thing to do now.
And people actually warning that you need to be prepared for action and can't hope that a big majority will solve the issues for you are the defeatists and propaganda bots.
That doesn't make any kind of sense.
Seriously... have you never thought about actually questioning the updated storylines when your troll farm gets new orders once? Or have you just given up on any standards by now reasoning that enough people are now so close to brain dead that just screaming some idiotic lie often enough will make it real?
Sure... being prepared to defend democracy is defeatism. And war is peace, freedom is slavery [...]. You idiots really took a dire warning and made it your manual.
Silence, bot.
Cute... another troll paid per comment.
