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
I have a worrying feeling that for these people, fixing the system doesn't mean anything like "kick all the billionaires out of politics, change the electoral system & senate to give people genuinely equal representation, and start arresting politicians who take bribes and make millions on insider trades".
Ever play wolfeinstien? BJs dad is who I think these ppl are.
"This a white man's country and we got to keep it Christian" pos even sold his wife to nazis.
A "restoration era" USA where all the damage is being fixed and institutions repaired like you describe would practically take some kind of temporary military dictatorship. Because it's not just the idiots in maga, you have all kinds of idiots who think this principle or this or that is important and everything has been gamed for decades by the plutocrats to only serve them. So everything is poisoned, everything needs to be changed, so you can't rely on any sensible majority or institution to work with you. That includes news media and journalists and the "freedom" of the press to serve as a voice for the plutocracy.
