Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Black AND a woman simping for the far right.
Having trouble thinking of something more gross.
I see you and raise:
Black lesbian republicans
I've met a POC transwoman who was a sex worker and receiving Medicaid that showed up to her medical appointment in a bedazzled MAGA tank top in 2019. She was.....interesting.
🤯
Dont forget she sued her school for racism at one point too.
I half remember her trying to push some app or something at one point that was just going to be a massive doxing tool. I think it was around the time of gamergate.
Oh, I got you! She used to be a left talking head. So it's purely for money. She is literally selling her soul.
She wasn't even. She tried to be but kinda flopped until her rightward pivot.
How about Bari Weiss?
she found out the grift is easier on the right than the left, she was originally trying to grift the left a long time ago, the left isnt keen on listening to influencers and giving them money unlike the right does, so she went full right with talking points.
I know you probably didn't mean that but your sentence here suggests that you find black people gross.
Y’all “simping” for the liberals and democrats.
A guy I used to know, around 2016 started a weird descent in to conservative politics. It was understandable at the time, Clinton was genuinely an unlikable candidate and he was a morally dubious guy. So it at least made sense at the time. By 2017 he seemed to regret it and we all moved on.
Then in 2020, holy shit. It took literally nothing to bait him in to a political diatribe half a notch up from gibberish. He had invented so many straw men to argue with that the second you mentioned anything even conceivably political, he'd launch in to a bizarre assault on the left.
Thing is, he'd accuse me and others of loving Joe Biden even though x, y, z whatever nonsense he wanted to argue about. He'd even make up quotes. Things I'd supposedly said about Biden that proved I really liked the guy.
I'm so far to the left that Marx might think I go too far. I don't, and never have, liked Joe Biden. Joe Biden handed Clarence Thomas a seat on the supreme Court and openly defended him against his sexual assault allegations. He went to bat for that guy in a way that really makes no fucking sense, politically or personally, unless Joe Biden had done it too.
I can't name a Democrat I actually like.
So every time I see comments like this, I'm reminded that conservatives just have a forest of straw men they're arguing with, and any opportunity the bullshit that lives inside their head can find to spill out in to the real world they'll take. Regardless of how idiotic it makes them sound.
I'm in a similar boat, but I have a couple Democrats in my state that I think are good eggs. For one, Tim Walz has been an amazing governor and I really hate what the Harris campaign did to him and his reputation. Also, Ilhan Omar and Peggy Flanagan are pretty nifty all around. Outside Minnesota, AOC seems pretty decent to me and I have high hopes for Mamdani (although, he explicitly identifies as a Democratic Socialist)
...how do you even begin to unprogram half (or atleast 1/3) of an entire country, especially when the propaganda machine itself is live and well?
Read up on cult deprogramming, how to have conversations with those still in and freshly out of cults.
Probably the same way we did last time.
With a war.
I don't even know how you'd deprogram just that one guy. They get to a point where thinking critically about the crazy bullshit they're screaming about just isn't possible anymore
Pandemic broke peoples mind, being stuck inside, having to mask up, and the propaganda msm, and grifters had more time to expose people to the right. also the constant news about trump for 4 years have given too much exposure to people.
a bunch of asian ytubers i used to followed were almost to the far-right, but had enough sense to be more humble, but only up til the pandemic, it broke thier minds, they turned thier frustation inward, stagnation of thier channel, thier problems with employees, which culminated in them firing a female employee, and now desperately tries to shill for the right wing audiences to stay relevent; its mostly incel asians and muslim men, plus a smattering parasocial female fans, eventhough they were very mysogynistic towards thier former female employees that disagreed with them. they even had TULSI gabbard on thier channel as part of the shill, just right before the election, this bitch trying to get exposure for the campaign for trump through them.
Yep, we all have matching hats, flags, shirts, and a 24/7 hard on for 1 ~~pedophile~~ politician and his band of protectors
