The next thread should be called Civil War in America. Cause it seems like it’s gonna happen folks.

What do people think?

Arrest quotas even if the arrests are totally not legit are only for 1 thing, civil unrest that leads to militarization

Honestly Martin we know that GOP and its voters don't hold any credibility. The party has only gotten worse and worse and worse from Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr, Bush Jr and now Trump. The question is does the Democratic Party actually have the capabilities of establishing it?

Their decisions once they regain power will decide the fate of the party and American politics. Is probably the last bit of hope the majority of the American public are now holding out for until people get really motivated to take matters into their own hands.

Even the democrats, outside of a vocal few, don’t seem to have the moxy. Kinda disappointing

It’s happening. Another murder

martin @ 1/24/2026 3:10 PM
People in power shamelessly lying straight to out faces. President, VP, AG, Nazi dress up pretender in our cities, and racisr Nazi asshole who is the engine behind it all.

What does everyone think? What have we got to lose?

A lot of the general public feel that the Dems & the GOP at the top are all friends. This is nothing but a game to them. Either way the cookie crumbles they all make money. Proceed to funnel money to the rich and hand the poor the scraps. They act like they are fighting for the public, but have been more than willing to just throw their hands up allowing people to get screwed over in the end. Keeping in policy that the GOP puts in place even when they do hold power. An all of this could very well be true. But they have the chance to change this within the party to capture the moment.

When Dems inevitably take back power from what its looking like. They have decisions to make that will solidfy the status of the part going forward. The landscape and path is available for Dems to secure generations of voters. Having their foot on the neck of the GOP until/unless they are able to produce higher quality politians with better ideas than the outdated and proven failures they continue to push.

But if they think they can be cute getting by only on the message of being better then the GOP which has become an extremely low bar. This will only last for these upcoming elections. Keeping the bar low and turning people off.

In hindsight, plenty of hindsight, even Obama and Biden did not do nearly enough or come close to what you are talking about, with clearly the means to do so IMHO. It needs to happen

1000%

Which has led to where we are now with Trump as POTUS & MAGA in control of the Government. The upcoming elections will put a stamp on who/what the Democratic party truly is.

We the people also need to come to the conclusion of what America really is. Is America simply a buisness where you can attempt to make as much money as possible by almost any means? Or is America an actual country where we strive to improve the quality of life for the people?

Needs to be laid out bare.

You nailed it

America can be a country of opportunity, but it must be opportunity for everyone. It ain’t right now.

One of the primary reasons Americans are seen as fairly stupid by other countries is the generic sentiment held by the majority of our citizens that all politicians are corrupt and equally so.

Even in countries that have gone through cycles of war and authoritarian rule there is often a more nuanced belief that government is capable of serving the public and that politicians can be actual civil servants of the people.

As soon as the sentiment becomes every single person who wants to perform public service is a crook you've already begun the descent away from democracy and towards autocracy, because without the belief that a person can aspire to be of service to their people and their country then you no longer have the ability to hold a nation together based on simple unifying common ground principles.

Americans blame the political system for corruption, but they are the ones who have facilitated by voting for the most corrupt choices while ignorantly claiming that it doesn't matter who wins because they are all corrupt anyway.

This is apathetic nonsense. Americans are often ignorant of how the rest of the world lives and they surely do not understand that in some countries there is still a belief that government can provide important needs for their country and that it requires good men and women to run these institutions.

By debasing the honor of public service for so long Americans finally got their wish and re-elected a career criminal and rapist whose only interest is serving themselves. You get what you deserve and most Americans don't deserve freedom or respect of other nations any longer.

If the Democrats intend to be the alternative that will win back swing voters one of the primary things they will have to do is restore law and order and prosecute this criminal regime.

All too often you get weak warnings that retribution is not the path forward, but without a firm demonstration that using government office as a conduit for criminal self-enrichment and abuse of civilian rights is going to be punished, there will never again be peace in this country and maybe whole continent.

Schumer is weak. Jeffries is weak. Though without the ability to outvote the GOP, they have not fought back hard enough and have caved under pressure and even whined there is nothing they can do. The Democrats need fresh blood to take over that is stronger and bolder and not afraid to get their hands dirty.

This country will need real leadership to be elected on the Democratic tickets this Fall. Without strong voices ready to step up and correct the violence and harm done this past year there will be no peace. Safety and calm requires some sense of moral standards to be revived. Only then will laws matter again in America, because right now they are being ignored by those in power.

No more pussyfooting around. The GOP morphed into a ruthless mafia with no scruples. You will have to prosecute them and imprison them. If they don't follow through on this then the generic American belief that the rich and powerful get away with everything will be validated. No justice, No peace.
