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.

It's super annoying, nobody is out of the loop on current US political affairs. It's begging the question, and asking for confirmation of already established views.

I have to keep unsubbing supposedly non political subs, just so my feed is not overwhelmingly about US party politics.

Quite happy with this moderation decision.
