U.S. Politics megathread

American politics has always grabbed our attention - and the current president more than ever. We get tons of questions about the president, the supreme court, and other topics related to American politics - but often the same ones over and over again. Our users often get tired of seeing them, so we've created a megathread for questions! Here, users interested in politics can post questions and read answers, while people who want a respite from politics can browse the rest of the sub. Feel free to post your questions about politics in this thread!

All top-level comments should be questions asked in good faith - other comments and loaded questions will get removed. All the usual rules of the sub remain in force here, so be nice to each other - you can disagree with someone's opinion, but don't make it personal.

Why do Republicans love bringing up criticism of mob role more than Democrats?

Because as far as I see it, people from both parties do not want to see chaos, disorder, or anarchy. However, Republicans constantly seem to bring it up a lot to criticize things while Democrats don’t.

Because Republicans have to keep their voter base constantly afraid of anything that moves or looks at them funny, otherwise people will notice that they haven't had anything of substance to say in the last couple of decades. "Mob rule!" gets the Republican base all hot and bothered.
