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!

"Newsweek has not been able to verify if it had been shared, or the account from which the clip was retweeted from. '
So... They just published this article without confirming that it even happened? I'm not doubting that it did because it seems pretty on brand but you would think a major news outlet would make sure before they publish an article stating it did.
YIKES.
I'm not one for dramatics, but HOLY FUCK.
That's BAD. It's obvious what they really intend now. How do we stop them?
Or both.
Wow this article is so much better. Thank you for linking!
News gotta go fast, 24 hour news cycle and still not enough time for all of it. Fact checking? That's for losers, and if you're not first you're a loser.
Take my angry upvote; it's true; getting there first matters more than getting it right for those views. They maybe go back and edit later.
It's unfortunate how successful this propaganda is, but it makes sense.
It's well produced content with a catchy song. It's normalizing hate through meme culture and radicalising impressionable people.
Similarly, I believe this documentary talked about qanon and right wing hate groups using similar tactics on facebook, instagram and other "normie" social media, not just the 4chan incel cave, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feels_Good_Man
Was hoping we could do better here at not just sharing and upvoting articles based on titles, but this is already in my TopDay, so...
