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 wish I shared your optimism, but I've read way too many YouTube comments. There is no shortage of knuckle-dragging soldiers waiting to do Trump's bidding. It is beyond scary how many of them there are, and I don't see the problem just magically disappearing if/when old Adolf Shitler finally sees some consequences. Now that there is a permanent strategic unification between Evangelicals, Fascists, and Capitalists they will continue to use their uneducated, quickly reproducing, white-trash, zombie army to do their collective bidding.
Sounds a little redundant there, dontcha think?
At this point yes, but it is a relatively modern development for there to be so much organized mobilization of these factional groups. The most dangerous thing that Trump accomplished was getting them all to identify as one big in-group, so there really is no functional difference anymore.
They are about 3 minutes from eating their own. They are just barely holding their party together and I really don't think Donny can bring them together this time, what with being so busy trying not to go broke and go to jail.
They'll turn on each other the moment they can. Just look at the Minnesota GOP. They literally cannot resist dividing because they're beliefs are so fucking specific and niche and everyone who doesn't fall in line with them is a 'rino'
