Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Literal brain worms have taken your critical faculties then I see.

If you truly think Republicans will regulate anything in this country you’ve got a critical misunderstanding of that party’s modus operandi.

Dismantling the FDA for one would leave all food and drugs completely unregulated. Dismantling ACA will mean people don’t have health insurance or affordable healthcare again. Adding tariffs to imports will make nutritious and natural food more expensive. You’re telling me they’re going to remove toxins from the environment while also dismantling the clean air act and going full drill baby drill. lol. Lmao even.

Can’t tell if you’ve never read the republican party platform or you’ve got a parasite like your boy RFK that’s got you sieg heiling dear leader as he destroys the social, moral, economic, political, environmental, and regulatory fabric of the country.

The things you say will happen won’t happen. Full stop.

Not sure why you continue to argue in bad faith.

Why do you assume these things will be dismantled instead of severely cut back on? Or replaced with something else that does work? It's going to be a step-by-step process for a transfer from what we have now to what we will have, but we're not abolishing like we tried to do with police, there will be something built and ready to regulate at a much more efficient standard.

I've read agenda 47, if that's what you mean. And yes, we can drill and still have clean air and water. I'm specifically hoping that wind energy is dismantled and nuclear and solar step up to take it's place.

It won't happen if we don't try.

I used to wonder how people were so dumb that shitheads like Trump and his cronies would keep getting elected and how they somehow manage to blame their opposition for all the bad and take credit for all the good shit that happens.

This. This statement you made. Is why.

What about my statement makes you come to that conclusion?
