Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

True, but I’m a firm believer in the motto of you made your bed now lie in it.
I mean I get it. I don't talk to my own dad (not political reasons). However I am a father myself and it would be really sad to raise my kid for him to just say "later" and never talk to me again. Then again I wouldn't believe Trump and his cult. Still sad to think you could be alone because of something that has nothing to do with me.
Ones politics has everything to do with that person.
Our political identies cone from who we are and our world views.
No it isn't lol
You have to know politics are a portion of a person's existence. It should not be the focal point of their existence. It should be an agreed upon direction and and a disagreement amongst certain things.
Not this. This is not politics. This is bored people with nothing better to do than to fight the system because they didn't find anything actually valuable in what they were taught was value. They bought a sham and need to sell it again because they can't admit they bought a sham.
Political ideology comes from who you are and what you believe about the world.
The compromises that we make as a larger community are not necessarily in line with my personal politics, but I recognize it’s necessary to make those compromises.
Saying “it’s not really their fault “ is bullshit, dismissing them because they’re “just bored” or whatever….
That’s how we wound up with trump in the first place.
These aren’t children. They have agency, they made a choice. Even growing up in such a cult, a time comes where you make that choice. They might be stupid, they might be getting lied to, but ultimately they choose to be assholes.
And we’re watching them tell us their politics: straight up hate.
When did I say it's not their fault? It is 100 percent their fault.
I agree, I feel sorry for the man getting lost like he did. But I will not raise my family around such a narcissistic attitude.
