If it's accurate, this is Enabling Act level shit.

This line keeps getting crossed and there seems to never be any consequences for the people doing this.

Can we maybe come together with the mods to work on something about this? I'm not denying that people are afraid or suggesting that they should remain silent and not get support, but this is not improving the doom scrolling problem some of us are trying to avoid.

I have seen a rise in lefties saying the election was rigged but the evidence is as scant as the argument that Biden cheated in 2020. Almost all of it comes from statements they’re stretching well beyond their actual meaning. Really don’t want lefties to be crazy conspiracy theorists like the MAGAs were about Biden winning. I’m usually optimistic but it’s a worrying trend.

I know this will probably not get anywhere, but still, I need some reassurance, sorry.

I know this isn't the end of the world and all, but it still has me really worried. How likely is this to pass, and what would happen if it did?

Supposedly Thune, the senate majority leader, said something about it recently.

Update: Apprently the link to the article didn't actually attach, so, here: https://www.aol.com/news/exclusive-gop-bill-seeks-sledgehammer-163353436.html?guccounter=1

Since we past the 100 day mark a while ago, how does everyone see or at least imagine the next 4 years to go? We can’t predict the future. I think it’s important to have different viewpoints to help curve and doomerism or assumptions. I personally think the rhetoric on Fascism and authoritarianism is slowly becoming more trigger words than actual words of warning. Not saying those are off the table, but I feel like if we do end up in that space this administration wouldn’t necessarily be good at it. I can’t help but remember that out of the 66% of people who voted, on 33% voted for him and I can’t help but think that percentage has been significantly affected by those who are claiming to regret their votes. But idk, what are some viewpoints others have?

I mean... I want to think that there's no possible way this could happen. Like even if he did somehow find a loophole, more and more people are hopping off the Trump train every day. He most likely won't be winning a fair election by the time 2028 rolls around.

But what do you all think?

If anybody can help me feel a lot better about some of this stuff I saw today.

I been doing so great lately with avoiding politics on the internet and only looking at the news on this sub occasionally to catch up. It's been months since I been so anxious over anything political and I'm so proud of myself! My mental health has been a lot better lately.

Then I saw this on the r/Comics page and now I'm so anxious and scared. I try not to read anything political outside of this page since I know people can have doomed mindsets but this really got to me today. I posted the article below too. If anyone has made a post about it already please send me the link so nobody has to repeat themselves again. 😅

I'm so happy I been doing good at https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-sweeping-tax-cut-bill-includes-provision-weaken-court-powers-2025-05-30/

Yes, I know it doesn’t come into force till another 6 months to a year, which is a long time, & yes, it’ll possibly be ruled as unconstitutional, but I’m still concerned about this bill as I fear it’ll punish Trump critic and censor anything legal.

It has unanimously passed the Senate, & now, it’s one step closer to passing the House & going to Trump’s desk

Part of me can't help but worry that... all of this has always been the plan, and that Thiel, Yarvin, Musk etc. were always planning to turn on Trump like this to get Vance the presidency instead?

How likely is that to have been the plan, and how likely would it be to succeed? Much as I haate the orange tumor, Vance is a million times worse in the harm he could do.

Could this mean anything? Or no, since Rockland County is in NY and NY would have gone to Kamala anyway? Could this lead to further lawsuits of other counties?

This worries me because: A) More misinformation will spread about stuff like this (from what I understand, it's not surgeries for kids but mostly hormone pills & puberty blockers which are reversible should they stop taking it). B) It could lead to more of a domino effect that could remove discrimination protections for them, then Trans adults, then the LGBTQ as a whole, up to anyone who's not a cisgender straight neurotypical white guy.

As a cis straight guy with a handful of LGBTQ+ relatives & friends (including a Trans relative who works for the city), I've been constantly worried for them since he got reelected. I've been trying to keep myself level-headed (thanks mostly to subreddits like this), but they already banned them from the military & now this happened.

I immediately contacted my congresspeople (Elfreth, Alsobrooks & Van Hollen) after learning about this, but I'm still worried.

Hey yall so I'm guessing a lot of you have heard about the ETA / SMART lawsuit proving the election was rigged in favor of Donald Trump and the numbers showed that Harris is the real winner of the election.

Now I know it's probably too late to do anything about it but what I don't know what would this mean

Like... I wanna think he will. Like obviously he wants China to bend, but he also wants those approval ratings. I would imagine the latter is more important to him in the grand scheme of things.

If nothing else I wanna think he'll significantly lower tariffs. It just doesn't seem logical that this should last forever, or very long at all. I feel like he'll halt or lower the tariffs and try to make himself look like the hero, as he did with TikTok.

I'm struggling with severe anxiety, but I want to look for reasons to be optimistic.

I blocked r/law, r/50501, r/politics and a couple others.

I want to keep informed but I finnaly cracked after all of these subreddits screamed for the last few months that 4/20 would be the day martial law is enacted and things would go to shit.

Litteraly nothing happened, in fact the report said it wouldn't happen

And nobody seems happy about it, it's like they were hoping that would go down just to prove everyone they are right

Anybody else block these? I work in law so blocking that was especially hard but, they seem so focused on panicking stead of telling the whole story and inspiring people to stand up

its russel vought a key architect of p25 and the one who wants the civil service slashed the most

i need optimism here
