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!

This is poetry. It perfectly explains the thought process.
I live in a rural part of California where Republicans move to get all the benefits of Democrat policies but get to vote Republicans into office.
Where I live, nothing has changed much since 2008. We've had a Starbucks installed for the highway, some restaurants moved locations, and that's it.
It totally makes sense someone in the desert I live in goes "well Obama didn't fix my area. I'll try trump, he tells me what I wanna hear."
And then trump didn't change anything here either. Some crazies got more proud in their crazy, but things were the same until the pandemic. Even then, we still had to work out same dead end jobs but with a mask to pay rent.
I get why people like a shake up, I get why trump can seen appealing to the white people here. Dead end jobs, can barely afford to live in such a place, and Congress and the white hosue doesn't listen.
But to actively listen to him talk about his plans is madness. Only people who hate others can stand it. And the Democrats lost to a man who didn't string the Nazi's 14 words together.
I wanted Harris, and I didn't expect much to change here either. I've lived here for 20 years against my will and consent, due to life events and shit happening. Nothing changes. I wanted change, Harris couldn't do it, but Trump would have in the worst way.
