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!

Is this a real quote?
I don't think it is, but it's certainly something I can see them saying in the future lol
Sure, but that trash doesn't care as long as they're not the only ones being hurt. And even if they do care, they won't blame the right people.
Of course Trump voters are hopeless and deserve every consequence of their support, but they'll never acknowledge it or change.
Only way to get blame to land in the right place is to change peoples' media diet.
Short of making fox illegal I highly doubt that will happen unfortunately. Any media that confronts their biases are immediately dismissed as "fake news." :(
A big chunk of it is not having as easy access to anything else. Just introducing people to things like a gift link feed can make a big difference
Many advocates are also highlighting that benefit reductions aren’t just going to hit SNAP recipients. The grocers who accept those payments, the people who work for those stores, the farmers who sell the food that goes on their shelves—they’re all going to see less revenue. And if it’s too costly for states, some could opt to withdraw from SNAP entirely, according to the Congressional Budget Office...
Good. Bad for everyone else, but I love it for them. Fuck everything about them.
