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.

They know that Antifa isn’t real. This way they can call anything Antifa and it’s now a terrorist that has no human rights.
It's not about Antifa, it's about George Soros. Wait for it.

White supremacists are so fucking stupid. And so fucking in charge of the USA.
The dogwhistle is just a bullhorn now.
Which is super weird because anti-jew but also like super pro- Israel
Israel is required to exist for some interpretations of Armageddon in the Bible. They hate them, but they need Israel to exist because it's central to moving forward with the end of the world and their gods cleansing of the forces of evil and the ushering in of a new world order.
So keep that fun fact in mind when you hear Christians being really pro Israel.
Israel is pretty great for anti-Semites; it's a "somewhere else" to send all the Jews (with much better optics than Auschwitz) and it's also pure fucking evil, and has its fingers all through many other governments, making their nutjob conspiracy theories actually look plausible sometimes.
Yeah, the actions of Israel are the number one cause of antisemitism in the world.
People who don't know better start at accurate descriptions and righteous outrage over the atrocities committed by the IOF and the Knesset and the rage bait algorithms of social media take them down rabbit holes that lead to the actually antisemitic nonsense.
Hell, even if you know enough to avoid that, it's sometimes hard to not be instinctively prejudiced against all Israeli people even if you're not an antisemite.
Given that the vast majority of the population has been successfully brainwashed by decades of government indoctrination into thinking of all Palestinians as subhuman threats to their lives and thus are in favor of the oppression as long as the Israeli casualties are kept to a minimum, I must admit that I sometimes struggle with it myself..
As S. Ansky said ca. 1900 in his poem In Zaltsikyn Yam, [translated] "We (Jews) have heard this story before from our enemies, 'A ghetto for the eternal kyke.'"
Because if there's one thing they hate more than Jews, it's Arabic people.
"Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”
Fascists of any stripe don't have any problem with their perceived enemies fighting their other enemies on their behalf.
And it's going to get worse before it gets better...
Yep, this just an excuse to send someone they don't like to the concentration camps.
“We’re fascists therefore everything you do to oppose us is antifa”
Fasception
Antifa is very real. They started fighting the Nazis in Germany. Today we fight fascists all over the world.
It feels weird that people say that "antifa isn't real". There's tons of groups using that name and symbols while doing Antifa type stuff. It's just not a singular organization but rather a loose collection of separate groups.
Time for another Red Scare!
Remember when Trump perked up after Zelensky told him they postponed their elections due to the war?
Kill all others.
