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
Don’t you love it when the conservatives blame the Dems for what the conservatives are doing themselves? It’s like narcissism’s victim-blaming 101: shifting accountability, gaslighting, and projection.
Projection is all they do.
Pretty sure that's literally one of Eco's 14 characteristics of fascism. Publicly accusing the opposition of doing the exact (awful) thing they're doing.
I~~f I'm not mistaken, it was a US Libertarian who attempted the assassination. It's analytically pointless to group them in with the Republicans, even if they're both horrible. Infighting is serious business.~~ [redacted: see my reply]
But yes, they're still going to blame the Dems anyway lol.
Source he was a libertarian?
US libertarians are republicans’ worst governing qualities on steroids, but they’re essentially republicans here despite the naming difference.
I'm going to redact my claim until I find evidence, because I may have just misinterpreted a flag they had up. Outlets are reporting the were a registered Republican.
I recall seeing somewhere that his pops was a libertarian.
And then the Dems agree that Something Must Be Done, so you get the next iteration of the Mulford Act and a SWAT Team kicking down the door of the Socialist Rifle Association.
