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!

It's weird how nearly every one of the Republican knuckle-draggers know the name of Soros....but how many know about all the megadonors on the right?
Imagine if there was something like ALEC, but on the left....all of these yokels would be talking about it all the time, but I've not known too many at the base level among conservatives who even knew about ALEC (and those that do try to play it off as a "conspiracy theory" to show any concern about their methods and their motives)...I doubt too many know about the shadowy groups underwriting Project 2025 (something for which some of the MSM even still tries to downplay, although I've not heard them call it a "liberal conspiracy theory", at least, lately, although when it fucking mattered last summer and fall, they certainly acted as if it was a conspiracy theory.), either: Coors Family, Koch, Uihlein, Scaife, Seid, Bradley.
And then there is Musk, who everyone knows for supposedly being some uber-engineer (lol) and super-great at business, etc, though not much focus on his funding efforts of Republicans.
They know, and they don't care. They're fascists; what's allowed for them isn't allowed for their opposition, because fairness is for the weak.
