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. 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.

We don’t deserve trump and the shitty republicans that pushed him to the top, no…. But the people that shat on everyone else in a fit of rage by electing trump to be their avatar? Yeah. I think they do deserve it.
while i get the feeling (in general people voting to harm others ought to at very least endure first the harm they wish on others) but i don't think even nazis deserve concentration camp internment and genocide. if we've got a stick big enough to do that, we have a stick big enough to do better.
Y’know, 15 years ago we tried tolerance. This is what it got us. No, I’m afraid tolerance is no longer a viable option.
Tolerance requires the recipient to be grateful for the tolerance. These people see tolerance as a weakness to be ruthlessly exploited.
We tried tolerance, it didn't work. We can't make that mistake again. We need to pivot to a strategy the MAGAs will understand and respect, which is crushing them mercilessly. They are evil, treasonous, corrupt pedophiles, and will require a strong boot on their throats for a generation or two, until they learn their lesson once and for all.
