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!

Not all heroes wear capes!
Edit: here’s a mirror to a conservative Louisiana opinion piece. It’s written about as well as you would expect it to be.

Oh look, the traitors are doxxing her and implying stochastic terrorism.
These piles of trash need to be deported. They aren't American any longer.
But, like, to where would they be deported? That typically implies sending them back to their place of origin, but in this case they're almost always from the US. Perhaps exile would be a better term to use.
My proposal: exile them to Texas (let's call it a "Texile"), and then let Texas have that independence they seem to so strongly desire.
Back to Russia
Siberia
A small island in the middle of the Pacific. They can live out their libertarian dream lives there
We'll see how quickly they reverse course on their global warming denialism.
I say we find one of the most uninhabitable places and give them just a few acres. Texas has a lot of our resources. Let's carve off some section of North Dakota or a place like that, and make sure it has no minerals underneath the soil and send them there to enjoy their "freedoms".
maybe they can even build a casino there.
Just drag them out of the environment.
Texas.
Yuppppp. They offer nothing of value to the world.
"you can always tell the crazies by their stickers"... Yep sure can. And I see a lot more of that from the right than I do anyone else sooooo....
My word, they are terrible. Also, WTAF is a "neocommunist"?
Wow. That was a lot of things, but journalism is not one of them.
