Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Trump's policies are making our kids dumber, sicker, meaner and scared

Working as intended then. He's manufacturing future MAGA voters.

It works, folks

It's not trump, it's christians, and it's been going on since the 1950s.

We need to stop being nice to Christians, we've suffered enough

I’d say since 50AD at the least.

Dumb, sick, mean and scared = MAGA, so that tracks.

It's FUD + sick, yep checks out.

What a great time to not have kids. As fucked as we all are, ours is a walk in the park compared to the world we're building for our next generations.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago

So? Who cares about Kids?

-Republicans trying to Save The Children!

Adults too.

That's a feature, not a bug, because then they are more likely to vote for the qons.

The problem they don't grasp is, that if you condition a population to disregard all reality, and replace it with conspiracy theories and disinformation you are going to have a growing pool of people even they won't be able to reach.

The cult is going to leave a wake of broken people that are going to need mental health services if they are ever going to reintegrate with society.

Like I said, there is going to be a scary difference between those who graduated and those who didnt or did but were given a shortcut.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Just like him/ them.
