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!

I guess when they're willing it isn't brainwash, but they definitely live in an alternate reality from everyone else.
its projection.
people have been pointing out how he wants to be a dictator, so he is claiming thats what biden arleady is. in this way, his idea doesnt sound as crazy as it.
conservatives are master at projection, if they are claiming someone did something theres a reasonable chance they are doing it themselves.
it's not a sophisticated trick, and it works because liberals are too cowardly to call it out
And too many conservatives are too goddamn gullible to realize they’re being conned.
Why not… their religion tells them that it’s a virtue to believe as hard as possible in fantastical stories that have no evidence supporting them.
More like too honest to stoop to that level of deplorable
That's not really the problem. The problem is liberals failure to deliver meaningful change to worker's lives when they have majorities. The best they can do when they win at the ballot is deliver conservative bills in sheep's clothing like Obamacare or Wall Street deregulation.
The biggest difference is Dems ability to not run a deficit, but apparently that's to abstract for voters to care about as it doesn't materially impact them. Even then what is the point to a balanced budget when it includes military spending like this, a response like this when the free option is stopping an allies from continuing a genocide?
So many bigger issues that "calling out" hypocrisy. Truly the only thing that can stop Trump is a good headline of how Biden "slammed" him.
