Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.

7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

It would have been more newsworthy if he wasn’t being backed by a conservative think tank.

And I wouldn't exactly call it a force with the way his campaign is going.

I think the surprise really is that there's a group of people directing his campaign, and it's not just him yelling random thoughts through the bathroom door.

A farce to be reckoned with

But force does describe his policy positions as in "we're going to force you to do what we want."

The heritage foundation is literally the Legion of Doom

Founded in 1973. It's not a coincidence that we started to see establishment pushback organizations popping up in this time frame. Because in the 60s, people of color started voting en masse after generations of systematic suppression. The civil rights movement empowered them to express their political views like never before. The word "Heritage" in this context means "white people." When they say "traditional American values," they mean "no gays or mixing of the races." When they say "limited government," they mean "weak regulation." When they say "individual freedom," they mean "freedom from consequences," specifically for white males. When they say "the war on drugs," they mean "the war on black people and liberals." And so on. They're speaking in code, and their very name is a code. But it's easily cracked if you've been paying attention.

While I can definitely see Lex Luther being a conservative, I think he would hate the GOP because while he's a bad guy, he took a pro-human stance against aliens like Superman and wouldn't give a shit about wokeness.

I think he's tanking alright.

Or is he tanking alt-right?

He’ll be the top worst option when/if Trump goes to prison

You're assuming Trump won't win the election from prison.

That'd be hilarious as that what the alt-right claimed happened with Biden. That he was secretly in prison for his 'crimes' but it was decorated to look like the White House.

Unsurprisingly it is the Heritage Foundation. Didn't they back JEB?
