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!

MAHA wasn't behind trump because of trump. That's the segment that came with RFK.
And yes, rationally you could sub POTUS for RFK. But they listened to RFK because he repeated the misinformation they already fell for.
RFK didn't tell them to put their phones in faraday cages every night, they were already doing that. They went down their own rabbit holes long ago, and so did RFK.
But they can't really blame vaccines like MAHA wants, because the American medical complex is a multi billion dollar annual industry, that's deeply embedded in all aspects of American politics.
That's why trump pulled a "some vaccines are ok" a week or so ago. That's a lot of money to piss off.
I'll keep saying it till I'm blue in the face, because people need something to be optimistic about:
We're watching MAGA slowly fracture in real time. And when it breaks it will break fast and hard.
Every domino is lined up for midterms, and it'll be here before we know it. trump is dumb as fuck, and the more he tries to fix it, the worse he'll make it.
There's a very real chance he's impeached and removed within 2 years.
He won't be impeached. That would piss off too many conservatives. He'll be removed using the 25th Amendment once they can no longer prop him up and make him seem vaguely coherent.
Or he'll just die from his atrocious lifestyle.
