Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How are these racist fuckers just blatantly getting away with it? Why can't someone do something?!
That's the thing many people miss when they look at the right. Republican voters want this because racism is the number one reason that people vote Republican anyway.
Trump is a symptom of the disease, just like Huckabee Sanders is a symptom. The disease is that Republican voters are so weak-minded their media creates fairy tale realities for them to inhabit, because actual reality is too hard.
Alabama straight up locked an elected mayor out of their city hall:

DeSantis straight up removed elected officials:

The reason they get away with it? I don't know. But it's so blatant that it seems to make them untouchable. Also, people suck.
They were voted into power, they can be voted out.
In Arkansas? Good luck.
You speak the truth. The ignorant hillbilly’s of my state think those idiots they voted in are doing great work. Shrek hasn’t done a single “great thing” since she took office. She is a terrible human being just like her father. They are modeling as many policies as they can after Florida.
If your “great” thing is racism, they are doing a good job.
Well if they aren't voted out their electorate must approve of what they're doing, barring gerrymandering.
There's not just gerrymandering, there's racist gerrymandering.
I'm sure you're shocked.
Stunned!
Hate with the voters are strong and they will be reelected.
