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!

DeSantis as he's being hoisted: "what's my petard doing here?"
Unless the entire goal is to make the population too fucking ignorant to understand what he's taking from them.
Seems successful to me.

If this were reddit, we'd have people replying to tell you that that never happened, and that the Republicans are, "The Party of Lincoln"™

In my state’s sub, you’d have the (Dixie)*crats joining them.
Yeah
When you take the parties away and just think about who did and didn't support the Civil Rights Act of 1957 (or 1964, Voting Rights Act, etc., it becomes clear who's on which side.
I was alive when Strom Thurmond died. I remember it. That dude was a hardcore GOP Republican until the day he died. The openly racist man who filibustered against the Civil Rights Act of 1957, and literally changed his party affiliation based on where each one stood on whether or not black people should be seen as people.
We all know what party he chose, and it doesn't sound like Lincoln's values to me.
Tbf Lincoln opined that if continuing slavery were to spare the Union, he would be fully onboard.
Lincoln was a complicated man, and politics is complicated...
But yeah, by today's standards he was probably still pretty shitty.
Supposedly the Bible that he had purported to have turned to during his cancer fight was found in its original packaging, untouched.

I see you all over Lemmy. I like you.
Thanks! My first impression of you is positive too 😁
