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!

No, because the addendum implicit in the dog whistle is that it's only NONWHITE immigrants who are "poisoning the blood".
Don't forget the second addendum: once they take care of the non-white problem, they'll start making the definition of "white" more and more strict to keep the hate machine running.
Looking at you Catholics, Italians, Irish, Polish, and anyone else who isn't a white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
Those divisions already exist. Back in 2007 I met a guy who belonged to some Christian sect and he didn't consider Catholics to be Christian, which blew my mind since Catholics were there first. Even back in the 60s Kennedy broke the mold of those who said the US would never have a Catholic president.
Because they existed a long, long time ago. As the straight white conservative male hegemony has lost power, the number of people they're allowed to hate has shifted accordingly. Now they're okay with any kind of Catholicism, any shade of white, and you can be a woman as long as you're okay with being sexually assaulted. If they ever managed to regain their stronghold majority in politics, there's no doubt in my mind they'd start turning on themselves as the old divisions started to come through.
Yeah but that's thinking too far ahead for Republican voters. The leopards would never eat their face.
