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!

In my lifetime I’ve never seen Conservatives take personal accountability for any of the consequences of their actions. They are so used to being entitled little babies that they always have to cry victim and find a scapegoat to blame. They refuse to even have productive national conversations on the results of their failed policies. On the flip side I have seen democrats take personal responsibility and try to fix mistakes as flawed as their party is. Conservatives on the other hand capitalize on the democrats taking personal accountability and just double down on their denial while escalating their bad behavior.
Because their playbook is literally "blame the outgroup".
The guy was literally standing in front of eggs clearly priced at $2.99 and blamed Harris for being priced $4.
When caught on camera for lying, the guy says "I was told there wouldn't be fact checking", which was in it of itself a lie.
That's what shattered the illusion of Christianity for me as a younger person. Horrible individuals hiding behind an institutional veil of morals.
The past ten years have been even more illuminating. As all of these sorts of issues have been brought to the forefront. One of the common themes I've noticed is that the Venn diagram of these types of Christians / conservatives is the overlap is nearly a perfect circle with abusers.
It is a defining characteristic of the ideology at this point.
