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!

Many Americans are just uneducated tools and the worst thing about it is they don't even realise how dumb they are.
That's a feature. When the SHTF their rulers will just blame another group. It works so well.
They let him do it, too. Because he's a celebrity and all that. So much for the sisterhood.
That's their tough shit. They're the ones who are going to suffer the most from climate change and Trump's economic policies. 78% of young people who were most concerned about the economy voted for Trump? Yeah, enjoy the next 4+ years, you stupid, ignorant, idiotic fucks.
Economies and foreign policy are fragile things - I doubt the damage he does (has and will) will be undone any time soon. Both rely on trust, in one way or another, and that's far easier to torch than rebuild.
We all will suffer for it.
Hey lady who voted for Trump — better hope you don’t get an ectopic pregnancy, or have a gay or trans child.
Yes, we know things are bad, but they're worse too.
Conservatives tend to have more kids than liberals. Maybe that has something to do with it. Seems to me, people are often heavily influenced by their parents when it comes to politics.
Idiocracy is becoming more of a documentary every year.
Always has been.
This is what I was thinking too. Not just conservatives but the less educated, less informed which lean conservative.
It's also a vicious repeating cycle. They get elected, and they are the primary ones who gut education, and force religion into the masses as much as they can. Thereby keeping the masses dumb and creating new generations of the same.
Fuck this makes my cynical. How the hell do we even compete against this?
Fucking idiots
The common clay of the new west!
The archetype of "Surely they won't eat my face"...
When people spew hateful rhetoric against your kind, it's safer to assume they're serious. Even if they're not, they might inspire others who are.
