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.

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.

"Still, Graugnard said he does not regret voting for Trump."
The measles outbreak is small potatoes comparative to the cognitive dissonance disease underway.
These people are the reason lasers have warning signs saying not to point tmem at your eyes.
More typical unnecessary gubbmint regulation keeping down the laser pointer industry!
Meanwhile there was a video interviewing illegal Brazilians in the US who supported Trump. Most of those were in favor of expelling immigrants, if they broke laws (ignoring they are illegal themselves). They saw themselves as “good guys”, so it wouldn’t apply to them. And some of them complained that nowadays there was more immigrants and hence more competition for jobs, so they wanted it to be more difficult to get in. Typical “now that I’m here, kick the stairs”. I just assume most of his supporters are selfish people who wouldn’t miss the chance to throw someone else at a bus to have some personal gain—as long as they don’t stain their own hands with blood.
I would look for the video, but it was in Portuguese anyway.
This self-ish mentality is rife and something I noticed alot more during covid. When most people during that period would not even take basic measures to help protect their own community, mind you these same people are also always the ones that decry freedom of speech and rights. The right for them to say anything and also the right to not vaccinate. But then you ask them about trans, gay rights and abortion rights then you really see who they are, because it’s just rules for me but not for thee with these people.
Then they try the it’s against my religion approach, then you ask them about those same freedoms for other religions, whoa whoa slow down there because this level of freedom only applies to Christians. Hypocrites
Not to mention the gay conservatives that have essentially voted for their own rights to be chipped away at by the far right. It’s like they are wearing blinders to their own prejudice being ushered in again after decades of progress.
It’s truly staggering the amount of cognitive dissonance, hate yet at the same time the inability to even realise that the freedoms that these people try to strip away from others are also the same freedoms that will also be stripped away from them at some point as they through their own idiocracy inch themselves further into authoritarian dictatorship.
Re: gay conservatives
I was reading something the other day and white gay men are so normalized now (and I mean, that's the goal!) that some of them consider themselves to be out of the LGBTQ+ movement because they don't want to be dragged down with the others as their rights are being eroded.
It's disgusting.
Lotta non-practicing and renounced Jews were killed by Nazis. Turns out, people don't prejudge you based on how you identify or align yourself...

‘Step on me harder daddy!’
You can't fix stupid.
We already saw the cognitive dissonance of people gurgling the last words "COVID's a liberal hoax" as they drowned to death on their own bodily fluids filling their lungs. Literally no amount of reality can sway people who just won't accept it.
