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.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

MODERATORS
American patriotism has always been problematic enough to be at risk of developing into fascism.
Why would pledging allegiance to any one nation state be more important than treating people with dignity?
Its small minded thinking and Americans have been drinking this Kool Aid for generations.
Democrats seem so feckless because they're constantly on their backfoot trying to prove they love their country too.
Who can love their nation more than a fascist? Someone who's willing to turn their nation into a killing machine that massacres perceived outgroups?
Of course, love for your nation doesn't have to mean that but America has been embracing that worldview of patriotism at an accelerated pace since 9/11. So here we are.
You know its bad when even the morally slightly better party is tripping over itself to bankroll genocide.
