Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Ahh log cabin republicans, too republican for the gays, too gay for the republicans.

Part of the effectiveness of the Republican Party as an institution is creating these little hot-house varieties of conservative that get to pretend they're secretly running things while everyone else is being made a useful idiot.

The billionaire plutocrats think they're outwitting the evangelicals. The evangelicals think they've corralled the neocons. The neocons are convinced they've duped the suburanites. The suburbanites are convinced they've carved out a Lebensraum that's safe from the ravages of corporate capitalism. Everyone is selling one another a bill of goods and hoping to get their slice before the pie is handed back to the Democrats.

But they were all of them deceived, for another platform was made.
