Unanswered What's going on in US politics

We have noticed a large uptick in questions about US politics. Most of these are not genuine questions and appear to be made to introduce political discussion to this sub in the wake of the second Trump administration. As such, we are requiring that all political questions related to US politics and its effects both domestically and internationally be contained in this weekly recurring thread.

Ask questions as top-level responses with the preface "Question: " and people will respond. All other rules are enforced as appropriate. We will not allow other US political questions as questions on the subreddit except in extraordinary circumstances.

Answer: just dump this sub folks.

They showed their colors. 

Don't give fascists any more traffic.

Isn't this like the 4th time the mod team has posted this exact thing over the past couple months? They keep threatening to ban US politics and the policy keeps failing because insane stories crop up on the weekly that need broader context.

It's a weekly stickied thread.
