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!

Republicans, party platform of thwarting the rule of the people and democracy. And they'll keep on doing it until you vote them all out of office.
It is this. They know they don't have ideas and policies that people want, so they can't win fair elections. So they don't want democracy anymore. They want to rule us and force their views on us.
Stop voting for Republicans, they don't believe in our democracy.
It’s kinda worse than that though. They feel it’s their moral imperative to force their ideologies on us. That they are fighting some holy war against evil. They have to win by any means necessary. The most ardent believers think that the country is already evil and can only be washed clean with the blood of…. I guess anyone who doesn’t share their views. Right wing extremism is all over the world, not just the states. And it’s damned scary times right now.
So kinda like Sharia law but based on bullshit Republican ideas instead of a religion. Also Republicans would lose their everliving minds if it was suggested they live under Sharia law.
Well most of them base their ideas on their particularly twisted version of Christianity, so pretty much exactly like Sharia law. Some of them don't even hide it and straight up admit they want Christian flavored Sharia law. Republican voters seem to be a pretty even mix of militant authoritarian Christians and those that don't actually care about religion but find the ones that do to be useful puppets so they play along. Nearly all the politicians just talk about Christianity because it plays well with their supporters, although there's a few that are legitimate believers and those are the truly frightening ones.
Y'allqueda is a drive to be reconned with. Original klandma is out there calling for civil war two electric boogaloo. At this point I just wish they'd been more successful in organizing a large scale insurrection on Jan 6 so we could have a nice pile of bodies.
Which is why they work so hard to make that impossible.
