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!

They aren't stupid. They're reacting intelligently to the information they've been saturated in. Unfortunately that information is maliciously poor.
Not to mention the fact that democrats/liberals have consistently failed to counter message against this propaganda or even acknowledge the issues that face americans.
They're dumb as shit.
Misinformation is ample & fully aware "the impressionables" get targeted on social media... but unless they've been living on a different planet they're fully aware of Trump's history. His felony convictions alone were global news.
I said that years ago but times change. The nonsense they need to convince themselves of is absolutely wild and it must take a herculian daily effort on their part to maintain their collective insanity if we decide to say they aren’t stupid.
So much of what they hear should qualify as the moment they went “hey, wait a second” but they just keep on going deeper and deeper. They are fools and everyone else needs to deal with that.
There's an ethical obligation not to let yourself be a rube. They failed in that.
This is the most libbed up comment I've ever seen.
Y'all are fucked until you figure this shit out.
All this republican nazi propaganda is blatant. Nobody gets the excuse of thinking any of it's true. It presents as horseshit, not even as some genuine misunderstanding.
But he was already president for 4 years and everyone on the planet knows how incompetent he is and how little he cares. This isn't a: let's see if the fat pedo is a good president, it's a case of: we (should) already know he's incompetent but we also hate brown people just as much.
