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!

NBC reporter: "there were Nazis openly schmoozing at CPAC"
Republican Party: "NO THERE WEREN'T! THAT'S A LIE! YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF THAT!"
NBC reporter: presents evidence
Republican Party: surprised Pikachu face
But seriously, we all know where this is going. Conservative leaders will cry "librul media persecution!" And about 95% of their followers will just believe them and refuse to check the presented evidence, because it's more convenient for them to blindly follow the movement than it is for them to accept the truth.
No, you see, those Nazis were an antifa false flag.../s
Why leave open the possibility that the "librul media" might be telling the truth when you can discredit the evidence with unfalsifiable lies?
Worse, they'll play the "just because Nazis were here doesn't mean we're Nazis" card. They will find a picture from 1967 where some hippie brought a Nazi flag to a Humphrey rally to prove that both sides are the same.
Like a “not all Nazis” defense.
Maybe he just meant they weren’t “Nazis,” but rather “Neo-Nazis” or some other type of white nationalist of a more modern vintage. Your Pinochet admirers, neo-confederates, and so forth. Barely anyone at CPAC was even an adult during WWII and certainly no one at the young fascist mixer.
"If it didn't come from the NSDAP organization of Germany, it's not a real Nazi. Just a sparkling eugenicist."
Haha, now I have an image in my mind of Charlie Kirk and Nick Fuentes nervously and awkwardly flirting with female Russian agents over malt shakes.
Fuentes has a brainworm infestation so severe that he flipped out when one of his group's members found a girlfriend.
The endgame is for Nazis to be okay but liberals aren’t. “Look at what those damned liberals are doing to those poor persecuted Nazis.”
This is a harrowing step forward on that path.
Is this even news? They havent cared about Nazi's in their party for a long time now.
than it is to use critical thinking skills.
There, fixed that for you.
How do you expect them to use something they’ve never had before, let alone something as complicated as thinking?
