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!

Since i am stuck with being an American, I am so very grateful to call WA my home.
One might think that the Trump admin wants some states to secede.
Every day I see more and more evidence that the west coast alliance will eventually split. We’ve shown a level of solidarity, resistance to federal/fascist occupation, and preparedness in replacing lost federal services that would do us well. I’d expect that if elections go as obviously fucked as they seem like they might over the next 3 years, that we might actually just fuckin do it. If we took our economic ball with us, there would be good incentive for NATO to recognize us as independent from Trump’s America. I really hope our governors are at least planning contingency for this kind of reality.
Maybe it won’t happen. It’ll be rocky as hell, but so is just sticking with things as they are. The biggest losses would actually be that it’d be hard to maintain unification with other states that might seek to separate from the fascist state; New York, Colorado, etc. I suppose Alaska would probably remain in Trump’s America, so geographic fragmentation I suppose isnt entirely insurmountable but it does get tricky to be surrounded entirely by fuckin Nazi sympathizers.
The other big downside is obviously any sort of pushback we’d provide to further oppression of minorities in the shithole states. It really sucks to bail on black people in the south like that, or trans people everywhere, or… women. But at a certain point we have to look out for the freedom and safety of our own.
There will be a liberal backlash. Best case is cleaning house in the midterms.
If the fascists weren’t attempting to so brazenly prevent fair elections, I’d agree. But I don’t have much faith that even the midterms are going to go normally.
