Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Maga is Christian in name only. If hell is real, they're all going to hell because nothing they do has anything to do with Christ's teachings.

[–] pataconpisao@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This. They would never dare attend services in non-white churches and would be hostile to newcomers that appear “different” in their own communities. These folks quickly abandon the teachings of Jesus Christ to fight for “racial purity” hands down.

Maybe so but that's of very little value to me.

Religious participation is plummeting as the compassionate and reasonable people disassociate from Christianity

The right is splintering, and the Kirk shooter being a neonazi shows this

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago

This sounds like good news but they currently hold power. This is when they lash out the hardest.

Makes me recall when calling out "Trump's white America" apparently outraged some people in investing forum. Maybe those didn't like their covers blown.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Christofascism. Fuck the US.

Fuck religion.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Remember when they put out a document that told us that they were going to do this, and exactly how, and people ignored it or called it "propaganda"?

[–] RFKJrsBrainworm@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I feel like the idiots who did this had troll's calling it propaganda to make folks think it was bullshit

Are they fucking stupid? Do they not realize HOW MANY MINORITIES EXIST?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I pointed this out to some Nazis on Diaspora back in 2016 and their answer was asking how many Jews were in Europe prior to Hitler. They aren't that bright, but their thought leaders do have an understanding of demographics.

They just want to change them, and I don't think that they would rule out extreme amounts of violence to get the demographics they want.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

And then it well come down to who is white? And some people won't be the right white and they well go after them.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 28 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Stop. Blaming. Maga.

This is the GOP. They fucking TOLD you this was the plan.

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

MAGA or GOP what's the difference?

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 days ago

There's many, including those in dem leadership, who think maga is just a small part of gop and eventually it'll go away and gop will go back to how it was.

They don't want to acknowledge or admit this is what gop has always been

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

One of these will be pilloried and eventually destroyed. The other will blame the prior for all its bad actions, claim innocence and continue onwards

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

They are viewed as one in the same by sane people. Both garbage, both deserving of a quick and pitiful end.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Anyone remember the "tea party" and all the people that were suddenly "Independents" after W's popularity hit the skids? I wonder if it will be like that again?

The R's stand up another version of the "tea party", people go to those rallies and talk about being "independents"....and run right back to the voting booth at the next possible chance to vote Republican, for whatever monster the Republicans find to run after Taco.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

They're the same picture.jpg

[–] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Dude, the GOP = MAGA.

The republicans that were around during bush 2 are gone. That party is gone. The problem is that people that consider themselves Republican like the politicians from that era and before, haven’t not realized that the modern GOP is the same in name only.

Project 2025 is a shit show and would turn the USA into 1979 Iran.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

*is turning. It’s over halfway implemented and accelerating fast

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 days ago

And 1979 Iran was helped to start by the CIA.

America just loves dictatorships so much it wanted a new one here at home.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago (3 children)

“Christian”

Theofascist.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nationalist Christians, or NATCs for short

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

But don't you see how great things are in Gaza now? Surely the downfall of democracy was worth it.
