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!

She loves her conservative identity more than her son.
True of 99% of conservatives.
"if the government wasn't taking my money, I'd be able to pay for things". <- The main argument by Republicans. It neglects the fact that's the government (run by the people) has the power to negotiate and require cheaper services than any one individual could. Yes you have to pay taxes but it goes towards creating cheaper and better services.
It breaks my probably autistic brain that my hyper intelligent history buff uncle could swallow the MAGA pill and sing praise to Russia on his fucking deathbed.
People, myself included, dont understand that the ruse is identity, not intellect, not blood, not anything.
Identity is a weird thing and I don't think we know as much about it as political advertisers do or something. It breaks my brain.
dude. I had a similar issue with a close friend of mine.
how can someone, that is a student of history, not see the obviously dictatorial things that are happening?! It was because he would be siding with Democrats...and that is somehow worse than losing a friend of 13+ years.
broken my fucking heart. still does. have not talked with him in what seems like forever but it's been less than a year.
Can we make a smart historian MAGA pilled Scantron for these wannabe intellects?
