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!

LMAO I really expected emojis, this is insane
And they're very triggered the woke are fact-shaming them.
Fact-shaming. That phrase is freaking perfect. I'm stealing it.
fact-shaming is now in my vocab, thanks
Flying confederate flags and Trump flags all the time they forgot what the USA flag looks like
For anyone else that didn’t necessarily want to scroll through the article but was wondering how far off the flag is:
The new marketing grad running their twitter must be trolling them. I can’t think of any other reason and I don’t want to believe people are that dumb/lazy.
You say erroneously, I say dog whistle. Slaves were repatriated there. It’s a troll, and not the first time they’ve done this, see CPAC nazi symbol in 2021
I mean, this isn't an uncommon graphic design mistake, there's a whole subreddit for it. In this case it's far more likely to be a dumb mistake than an intentional dogwhistle like that suspiciously Odal rune shaped stage at CPAC may have been.
I'm OOTL. What dogwhistle stage are we talking about?
CPAC's stage in 2021 which looked like a Norse rune used by the Nazis.
Yikes. Was it ever confirmed deliberate?
They would never admit to it if it was.
You say that, but these are the same idiots that posted the "we're all domestic terrorists" to a signboard, so you never know...
See, to me, that is far less crafty and far more stupid. If this was an attempt to troll with a slavery dog whistle, that's far more subtle and they aren't subtle.
Not that I know of. The Odal rune is obscure enough to the average person that they have plausible deniability, so unless we find design documents or get a confession it's basically impossible to prove.
No, when they arrived at the venue it was already in place.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity. They aren't that smart and they are very stupid.
You should also never underestimate evil - that’s how they win.
I'm not underestimating evil. I'm estimating intelligence. And they aren't that intelligent or crafty. Their evil is far more banal.
m not underestimating evil. I’m estimating intelligence. And they aren’t that intelligent or crafty.
This is textbook underestimating evil, friend. Don't confuse the stupid act they put on for their constituents with their actual intelligence.
These assholes are ivy league educated and have (successfully) shaped the republican party under them to engender the support of the dumbest among us and eliminate just about every trace of coherent thoughts. But just because that's their base doesn't mean the leadership is just as dumb.
Granted, you have real idiots like Ms Bowling Alley Flasher or I Can't Believe it's not Jewish Space Lasers, but a lot of the leadership is moral-less bottom feeders desperate for power and willing to sell away the country and our democracy for it.
Say what you will about the idiots running the republican party, but those fuckers got shit done. Here's hoping the democratic party can take a page from their book and finally get their shit together, but I won't hold my breath.
Remember folks, these people like to (falsely) portray themselves as the patriotic party.
And the general public just eats that shit up.
They're just posers. It's reminiscent of when the former guy told Liberty University students to open their bibles to "two Corinthians".
They are far worse than posers - they are straight-up traitors.
This is made all the more hilarious by the fact that Liberia declared its independence from… the US.
EDIT: small correction as independence was technically declared from the private “American Colonization Society” which is somehow even worse
Ehhh. The US granted it independence.
EDIT: No, I guess not. It was never a US territory. I thought that it was a state initiative, but apparently it was a private one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_of_Liberia
It is unclear whether or not Liberia was ever technically a colony at all. Unlike most other colonies in the 19th century, it had no charter and had no official allegiance or relationship with a sovereign nation.
I know that Lincoln supported the idea, but it looks like it was in the context of supporting a private initiative.
At least it wasn’t Russian this time.
Is there anything that isn’t embarrassing about those clowns?
At some ambiguous point, stupidity becomes malice; hence the banality of evil. That was my point. They are displaying what they are. Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. Or, will you continue to question their intentions until the end?
Pretty funny from a side who talks about how patriotic they are.
"No stupid, put the Nazi flag up AFTER Trump wins!"
Once is a mistake, https://www.businessinsider.com/88-dollar-baseball-trump-organization-website-white-nationalism-hitler-2020-7 Repeatedly is a pattern
Aside from the gaffe, I really hate how Republican extremists have hijacked the American flag for their weird aganda. Time to take it back.
What a bunch of incompetent degenerates... I mean "patriots".
Kill-billies!
The party of idiocracy and authoritarian traitors.
When’s the last time you Googled a stock image of an American flag and found a Liberian one? Feign mistake, correct, repeat.
When was the last time you mistook the Liberian flag for the American flag?
Gagging Obnoxious Pudknockers
Bro, do you even Murrica? Smh.
Bang, bang, eagle swoosh.
It's a bit funny and all, but this is basically the definition of a non story.
I'm sure there were actual news today.
It's "cucumber season". Politicians are on recess.
