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!

MODERATORS
How is it that one political ideology that came close to staging a coup is still being argued about three years later like it's some kind of difficult debate.
If socialists, blacks, Latinos, native Americans, all women had done any of this, the arguments would have over and done with within a year and there would have been no more debate about it.
Far right fascists try to storm government and there's a never ending debate it.
They are still catching and charging people years later.
It's a "debate" because unfortunately around 40% our population is unable to comprehend and discuss complex issues, and instead refuse to accept that what happened on J6 was illegal and have instead co-opted to support and treat them like heroes. I mean, fuck, did you see their last CPAC? They paraded these people around and there was a quote saying that they were going to end democracy.
It's all insane.
And my favorite is rather than let the police, who they support, do their jobs... They're actively doing as much as they can to disrupt that research. Like really pitting police against police. It's hilarious (and painful)
"Why we gotta pay so much in taxes to fund schools? Schools ain't never done nothin for me."
It's way way less than 40% of the population, it's barely 40% of Republicans.
It's interesting then how much the MAGA movement has absolutely hijacked the Republican party due to complacency. The fact that Trump's DIL was able to take the Chair of the RNC is insane to me.
Then again, with how insane Fox News has gotten, I kinda feel like they are low-key trying to getting these 'moderate' conservatives in line with the rest of the MAGA movement.
That's what they are doing yes, it just isn't working very well because their positions are largely vastly unpopular even with their own base.
There wouldn’t have been an argument.
Machine gun nests and unscalable barricades, and all manner of other things would have been, though.
