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!

but they hate immigrants more

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 113 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Not really immigrants. That's just the dog-whistle. It's minorities of every kind they hate.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 57 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

We're gonna see how far they can stretch the label of immigrants, too. Born in the US to foreign parents? Back on the boat with you.

I have seen a youtube video where a woman who weighs roughly 400lbs is riding on one of those mobility scooters in home depot, and yelling at another woman to "GO BACK TO CHINA!!!" to which the woman replies "M'am, I'm Native American", and the woman yells "I DON'T CARE WHATCHU IS!!! GET OUTTA MY COUNTRY, AND GO BACK HOME!!!"

Zero hint of humor, or irony, or brain cells in that one.

Just like this Idaho state senator who told his American Indian opponent, "I'm so sick and tired of this liberal bullshit. Why don't you go back to where you came from?"

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I think you're legally allowed to slap him at that point

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

slap

I have a real strong urge to make a relevant but politically-incorrect edit.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

How can he slap?

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

By that point you take the keys out of her scooter and walk away

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

..........I like you.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Well, if they are non-white. I'm sure people that are deemed sufficiently white won't have any problems, even if "illegal".

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Better start packing my bags, then.

[–] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

It depends on how much money they have.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right. White immigrants are fine. They just don’t want brown people from “shithole nations.”

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

And white isn't even concisely labeled. Italians and Irish used to not be white for a time.

And a Spanish named state, with a Spanish based flag, hates people of Spanish decent. Even if they are of Spanish decent. See Florida.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly fucking this. Words don't have meaning to fascists, they will include whomever they want to include, and they will never provide any kind of rational reasoning for the exceptions that are made.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

And many minorities voted R, too. Thinking they're one of the good ones...

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Including women.
