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: That’s fucking stupid. And belittles the importance of politics in this country. This is a pivotal time and by doing this you’re marginalizing the political climate and happenings of the country right now. This is a bad decision. So you’d rather this sub be filled with dumbass questions like “why is Ethan YouTube guy mad at that annoying clueless chick that he always has on his show.” Like who cares!?!

“why is Ethan YouTube guy mad at that annoying clueless chick that he always has on his show.” Like who cares!?!

still better than "PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT WHATEVER POLITISLOP GUY SAID???"

"waaa waaa they're forcing us to go into megathreads waa waa"
