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
MAGAts are so fucking hopeless. Had a relative the other day saying they 'heard' pritzker was gonna tax camp fires.
I asked them if they knew what bill it was part of, or what was actually going to be taxed, because you know, you can't realistically fucking tax a camp fire. You could add tax to wood... But then you can just put a hotdog in a stick and suddenly it's a cooking fire, not a camp fire. I outright said, "that sounds a lot like MAGAt trash'
So after more questioning i finally asked if they learned it from a Facebook picture with text on it. Ding ding ding!
Yes. They literally believe any stupid shit you post as long as it makes them angry. There was a bill proposed (HB 4459) with vague wording about a campfire tax. Pritzker didn't propose it, and the bill got voted down earlier this year.
And yet MAGAt trash is still out there lying their ass off about it because they don't have any actual policies or platform.
You can’t fix this level of stupid
They've been conditioned to get dopamine from outrage over decades of right wing propaganda. That's why they want to be angry and jump at any flimsy excuse to do so. It no longer has to even be believable. If they weren't such pieces of shit, I would pity them for being reduced to anger zombies.
