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 think it's brilliant that people publicise their political affiliations - it's like a big red flag to either avoid certain topics... or just avoid them altogether.
It's like Social Interaction for Dummies.
Last time I was on the dating market some of these people popped up on the dating app. Holy hell and it were always the maniacs that had to make their dumbassery public.
My favourite was that young lady who was extremely anti vax and tried to make it a “my body my choice” kind of thing. Everything read like she died on that hill a couple of times already.
That's something that often occurred to me when I saw some antima/antiva Karen during Peak Covid - I felt sorry for anyone that was their SO, most especially if they were married to them, assuming they weren't down for that level of crazy.
It's not a difficult thing to sniff out. You just have to mention something innocuous like toilet paper and suddenly you'll know more or less which side of center that person is on.
Good to start with the important questions: Toilet paper! Facing inwards or outwards?
Ever since donnie it became something almost impossible to avoid finding out. Most redhats would out themselves pretty quickly. And then Covid happened, and with things like masks and vaccines, the crazies found it nearly impossible to hide themselves...I'm sure there are still a few being quiet, but I think once the fauxbrain really takes hold, they seem to find it impossible to NOT broadcast their assholery.
I never swiped right on a lady firing a gun. Or taking a picture in the mirror of a public bathroom. Not the same thing. I just remembered the second one as I mentioned the first.
It's kind of like that stupid red hat the gomers like to wear (when they feel they can - I notice a lot of them don't wear it all the time, though - imagine that. It's almost like they know what that hat really means to normal Americans.)
When I see someone wearing that, now I know it's someone I can just skip over. It's like wearing a "do not talk to me" shirt.
Yeah well didn’t stop boebert
You're correct - it was the ushers that stopped boebert.
I should not be browsing lemmy when I’m eating. Thanks bazus. You win this one lol
