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!

The two big things Trump and MAGA never understood about Georgia is first there is a very particular way the actual power in the state likes to do things, they definitely have similar goals, because they too are regressive racist sexist authoritarian assholes. But they don’t want to be perceived as being the same sort of regressive racist sexist authoritarian assholes as those crude, crass, and tawdry folks across the state lines in Tennessee, the Carolinas, Alabama, and even farther west through Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana. And certainly far more civilized than that white trash parking lot south of Savannah that we won’t dignify by naming.
This is Georgia damnit and if we’re gonna be regressive racist sexist authoritarian assholes we’re gonna do it from the shadows like a good proper genteel society. Not putting all our dirty laundry out on front street for the world to see.
Secondly, Augusta really doesn’t like it when folks show up in their house and start telling them what to do, Trump and his cult are super presumptuous and that does not fly with high society Georgia. He’s got a bunch of followers in the state but they ain’t amongst the influential.
Starting that golf league with the Saudis probably didn’t help either
As a Georgian -- albeit a leftist Atlanta one, so "fake" according to these people, probably -- I'm not sure that your assessment is accurate, but I hope it is.
Brunswick? \s
I was you until very recently and I grew up in Cobb! I don’t mean to insinuate that Trump can’t succeed again, or the old money will for sure stand against him, but those folks don’t like that he’s the republican candidate and are shrewd
