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!

We've always been at war with Eastasia.
Having reading that book recently I totally see the Republicans wanting to use it as a guide book. Why they attack education and want to control the internet.
Just gotta have faith 🙌⛪
Well I guess it would be nice…
Goddamn faith.
And mangoes
TAHITI!
It's not insane, it's exactly how cult leaders operate.
You've got to deny the same reality that the cult does or you're on the outside.
It's not insane, it's exactly how cults work.
As if the two are mutually exclusive.. You can be insane without being a member of a cult, but cult membership is by definition not a trait of psychologically healthy people.
The RNC being sacked and pillaged by Trump for campaign funding and legal fees is pretty terrible for them, but watching the leopard finally start eating some important faces is incredibly satisfying. They're never going to financially recover from this.
If the fascist insurgency wins, they can plunder all they want. At this point, that's the only way they can survive.
Maybe he is draining the swamp!
Trump has literally destroyed Russia oldest modern enemy, the GOP.
Mission Accomplished
This is a very good point, one that should be made to Trump supporters
It's entirely rational when you're building a cult, to only bring in the most loyal to your control structure.
Let's be clear, here: they're not just building a cult; they're recruiting accomplices for a criminal conspiracy to try to steal the election again.
Cults and criminals have loyalty tests
They should just rename it the Trump Loyalist Party and get it over with. I mean they're already there, might as well stick the orange idiot's bands on it.
Only after they get all the morons to blindly vote for the R.
Good. These people are useless morons, and it makes me happy that the Republican Party will be staffed entirely by useless morons.
Thinking these people are dumb is dumb. They're not dumb, they're evil. You don't have to believe something to say something, and they know this. Don't conflate their actions with ignorance; it's what got us into this mess.
These are smart people with an evil agenda at the top. They may hire downstream idiots, but that doesn't make these strategies less effective. If anything, it gives those at the top more power.
Make no mistake about it these malignant narcissistic people are trying to steal the country and using stupid people to do it.
Well of course they are. You won't listen to Trump when he tells you to genocide minorities if you won't even listen to him when he says the election is stolen.
My only question is if tin foil hats will become a mandatory part of the dress code, or remain optional.
