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
Absolutely everyone believes him. The people that say that he means something other than what he's saying believe him but don't want to be stuck with the image that they're okay with it.
And to clarify to you specifically and the three-ish people that upvoted me, on a weekly basis he helps a 40 year old dude with multiple sclerosis do history homework, and they were covering the second world war. He read the Wikipedia of fascism, and he literally said that he had no idea it was a right wing ideology.
What can I glean from that? I have no fucking clue. Fuck Nazis, fuck republicans. I can only hope that there is a large group of people voting conservative who dont understand the consequence of this next election. Because if you're right than like 40% of the country are bigots, and even if the Democrats win, we're *still fast tracking to collapse
You can always take solace that you weren't down voted.
When you're talking about a set as large as 40 to 50% of the US there will always be exceptions. This exceptions will be numerous yet statistically and significant.
When someone says absolutely every one of the US is X, it's almost always going to be a representation of the truth rather than the actual truth.
Imagine having to even respond to that....
"Yeah he means it and I'm voting for all that shit!"
Or
"He doesn't mean that, he just lies to us to get our votes and I'm voting for him!"
Either way you're a fucking moron... Those dumb fucking people are going to set us back so much further than we already have been...
That's very not true. And it's honestly scarier. I work about ten minutes from Trump's first assassination attempt.
My boss is a good Christian who didn't know that fascism is a far right ideology.
They're in their own echo chamber, just like we are. They just don't understand that their echo chamber leads to a Hitler 2.0.
