- Hears Trump talk about how he will arrest and deport protestors.
- Hear Trump say he will attack Gaza.
- Sees protestors already be arrested (some denied degree? or just ceremony)
- Israel still attacking refugees -> then sent to Gaza City -> then Rafah under all with Biden's blessings
- Checkmate non-Biden supporters?

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.

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.

Nobody wants to admit that America is a capitalist totalitarian state that simply changes faces every 4-8 years.
Vote for capitalism because you don’t have any other choice!
Biden isn't the hero we deserve, he isn't even a hero. At best, he is The Penguin who got out played by the Joker (as Trump doesn't even pretend to take the rules of society seriously).
Lemmy "leftists:" good thing it was never about the Palestinians.
"Leftists" on Lemmy will praise everything about China. I don't think real socialism is supposed to be making that many billionaires, so it must be something else they admire there.

Do people like Trump because he aligns with their politics or because in a simple way he expresses American identities of being irreverent, 'straight talking' and entrepreneurial? Just a thought as an outsider.
I haven't read all of the comments, but here's a fact I haven't seen mentioned: The sociopathic narcissist doesn't give a rat's ass about Palestine, true, but he also doesn't give a rat's ass about Israel. He cares about himself, and will say or so anything to gain support and acclaim. He's making this threat solely because it plays well to his donors.
THAT'S the scary part. If the authoritarians didn't exist in our midst, he'd be a middle manager somewhere, instead of a contender for the office of President, again. THAT'S what we need to address, and the history of the past 30 or so years shows that getting a Democrat in office doesn't fix anything. Electing Biden won't make the authoritarians go away, which is why we're back with as rematch of the 2020 election, with our democratic institutions four years weaker, and the vulnerable people in our society more scared and more under threat.
Who's going to beat them in 2028?

I can't wait to be deported back to Michigan.
I called that one a couple of weeks ago.
