- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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.

I studied history and have been telling people this for over a decade but most people think I'm batshit crazy.
I live there three years in the 90s. I'm surprised it took this long.
Nazis took inspiration for holocaust from manifest destiny, soo...
Hitler assumed USA was going to join them due to the huge German population amongst other reasons...
For the rest of us, we've seen it coming for about 25 years. And we kept telling you.
You got belligerent and started waving your flags harder.
Now you tell us to "worry about your own country" when we say we told you so.
The ones who say to worry about your country are the ones here who saw this for decades as well and are trying to tell you we see the same shit starting all over the place over seas. If you act like you are above it, the same shit will happen to you all. Alot of us unfortunately didnt fight hard enough when we needed to due to thinking most people here weren't as stupid as they are and we are now pretty much fucked. Don't repeat our mistake thinking you have less idiots in your countries, the rot starts beneath the surface first just because you think you've cleaned the surface doesnt mean the infestation isnt festering below. Don't be like us, be 100 times more proactive.
