Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

The fact that we don't do "le Cheeto mosquito Mussolini has tiny hands and IS GAY, he's definitely going to jail! And he's going to be abused in there lol" doesn't mean we're trump supporters.
To most users here, there is no difference between Trump and Biden they are about equally reprehensible. Trump highlighted how the people voting for Dems don't actually give a shit about what is done, as long as the person doing it wears a suit and tones down their slurs a little bit. Trump highlighted how absurd the whole system is.
Users on this site are sick of the whole system, they think it's rotten, but there's also an attitude of powerlessness - to an extent. Since we can't make America balkanize immediately, we can either choose to laugh or cry at the absurdity. That's also why you'll se discussions of Trump being incarcerated not taken seriously - we know it's never going to happen.
That's also why there's an extent of giddiness that Ron Desantis is losing - He had the backing of the media apparatus for quite some time, despite being a clear-cut fascist.
We barely do anything else, you just don't want to see it because it would challenge your incredibly narrow worldview. Easier for you to sling baseless accusations around than to do some self crit.
Republicans are liberals you dolt. If you wanna engage in discussions of politics, please acquire a base-level understanding of what the terms you use mean.
Find me one (1) post here on this site being mad that Barbie is woke or whatever.
