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!

I’m somewhat suspicious that there are huge swaths of the Republican Party that simply refuse to talk to each other or coordinate in any official capacity. Like, some of them are coordinating with the old guard, some are coordinating with Trump directly, some are coordinating with the national GOP, and some are just doing what they think Trump would want them to do.
All that said, it’s deeply disconcerting to see that their ramshackle organization still has a shitload of momentum simply due to the fact they’ve kinda converted into a cult.
Kinda? My dude, it is a cult.
I was going for ironic understatement lol
The Q tards are some of the scariest people I've ever encountered.
I honestly wonder if that BrainDead tv series was cancelled because it was too close to home and some right wing billionaire made it happen.
Not to invoke Godwin's Law, but decentralization like this worked GREAT for the Nazis before they took power. It's real terror-cell tactics - if one of them gets busted saying or doing something that's totally fucking whack, the national GOP can just say "well we weren't coordinating their messages, those words and actions don't represent us, etc etc".
