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!

This is just so obvious, isn't it?

The only people who support this or think it's normal, are people at the bottom of the bell curve. The extremely unintelligent, uneducated, deeply indoctrinated.

You've got to be borderline mentally handicapped to not see this as nonsense.

Let's not do that. This is a question of moral character, not disability.

Weird, all I've ever heard about is how high the suicide rate is among trans people, nothing about murder rate.

Also weird to consider "trans rights are human rights" to be nihilistic (Political belief or action that advocates or commits violence or terrorism without discernible constructive goals)

Edit: I meant as in trans people murdering other people. Trans people are overwhelmingly victims of violence than perpetrators

Are Juggalos still considered a gang? These lists are just wish lists for targeting people they find taboo.

He's nearly finished colouring in his how to be a fascist dictator book.

He would have done so earlier if they could stop him eating the crayons.

Unfortunately, Matt Drudge, of all people, projected this months ago that this was going to happen and spoke out against it.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How do you designate an entire demographic as terrorists? This is the lowest form of stupidity.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

It's not stupidity, it's malice.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

It's not malice, it's fascism
