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!

Sure. But that's what it would take for them to stop voting Republican at this point. Death. Trump is a fascist, a rapist, a pedophile, a crook, and a moron, a literal East Coast Elite, and he still has their unthinking support.
This is not a path America comes back from without the only kind of disease that could kill rural citizens in greater numbers than urban:
A civil war.
That or Covid-25, bigger, better, and even more horrible but in some weird way that means they won't take basic precautions to stop themselves from dying.
Like, just think beyond this election, right?
What are they going to say when they lose?
Are they going to go back to being somewhat reasonable neocons?
Or is this what every election for the rest of our lives is going to be? Neoliberalism vs fascism?
I don’t know, nothing is ever that far gone or lost unless someone is a sociopath. There have been literal white supremacists and kkk members who renounced their former affiliations.
Ultimately people just want to develop and grow, whatever that means to them. Sadly, some people have been convinced that their development and growth is being impeded by others.
There are people who are hoarding wealth and resources, and exploiting human lives and labor. No, I don’t mean the simple business owners (thousand-aires or even multimillionaires). The hoarders are almost invariably billionaires as noted by lack of contributing proportionate taxes. We’re all victims of the greed of a very few. The noveau riche will mimic the behaviors of the true wealthy, and exacerbate the problem, but they too are merely pawns.
