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!

If you call it out before it happens, they call you alarmist. If you point it out afterwards, they've already normalized it
I guarantee if you described this week's killing to conservatives even a few months ago, they would have said ICE would never do that, and they'd be against it if it happened. Now that it happened, they have accepted and normalized it
I'm afraid of this regime. I fear I will face repercussions for speaking out against the Trump regime. I'm going to do it anyway, louder than ever before. Fuck fascism
They’re not just normalizing it, they’re celebrating it.
Wouldn't surprise me if Orange Jesus gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to that murderous piece of shit.
They're not engaging with facts. That's a whole other plane that doesn't intersect. It's just feelings and in-group.
When you point it out early, you're disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected. When you point it out after... You're still disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected.
That's all there is to it.
They don't care about facts.
THey don't care about engagement.
They just care about their power, and pissing off those that criticize them.
Thats why they sit there and smile and spout blatantly obvious bullshit in response to facts and evidence.
Because watching you provide a solid argument that they can derail with the most heinous made up bullshit is amusing to them. Pissing you off is amusing to them.
The whole things a game to them.
Word. I feel for you. TBH I just don't know how I'd deal with it.
“It’s just as Respected Leader Noem decreed: the domestic terrorist had it coming. And honestly, you’re a traitor for trying to defend that scum!”
