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 have been sayiing it for a long time - being MAGA is a sign of a serious character flaw, even mental illness. I will not be friends with a MAGA, they are untrustworthy to the core. These are the people like the Germans, who got along great with their neighbors, and when the Nazis came along, they sold out those same friendly neighbors.
If you have a MAGA "friend," they will betray you eventually.
A friend going MAGA is literally like a death. Dont put so much blame on mourning people. A whole slew of people I grew up with fell to that shit. Suddenly my friends for life were somebody else. Thats hard on people.
Yes. it's truly shocking to me how many people I know, even family, that I thought were good people, they were good people in fact, but now I wouldn't tell them where I was hiding Anne Frank.
If you became a maga without a traumatic brain injury, you were never a good person.
Don't think for a second think you can't be twisted with hate. Something like this could happen to you, too. Nobody is immune. For all of us that grew up with Star Wars none of you learned that Anakin's tale is a cautionary one, hate is easy for anyone to fall to. Even a Jedi.
But my hate is a pure, well-reasoned hate. An all-consuming hate that doesn't care about race or gender or socioeconomic background. It is a hate directed at assholes.
How do you expect me to stop hating MAGAs when I can't even stop hating myself?
I know that I can't be twisted with hate. There's absolutely zero chance I'd end up like a maga.
Star Wars is fiction. The only thing I hate is people who willingly support harming other people who aren't harming anyone themselves.
