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!

I live in the heartland of the south and see trumped out cars everywhere. I’ve seen people with q anon stickers. One guy had like 15 ‘extreme maga’ magnetic decals just sort of slapped on the vehicle all around. Like what the fuck is even that. Even if you are convinced d trump is the savior that’s just.. unhinged behavior.
It’s such a perfect litmus of who is an idiot and who isn’t. If your dumbass took the time to slap a q anon sticker on your truck and keep it there all this time, you are extra Fucking special.
Not that they were all that hard to spot before, but I am grateful they basically announce their stupidity to those around them.
Unfortunately we have a Republican population here, so there are Trumpers about, but for the most part you can’t pick them out unless they start talking to you… but there’s this one lifted pickup truck with huge tires, decorated in Trump decals and flying multiple Trump flags, and most of the time when you see it, they’re hootin and hollerin about something that’s just different than what’s usual around here. It’s just the weirdest thing to see, people will stop and stare at it as it goes by and then will be frozen in place looking at each other for a few moments after it’s gone.
