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!

What in the critical thinking is going on here?
If you've been indoctrinated by fascist American culture you probably think it's completely normal to constantly attack the free press at every opportunity.
Eh... I've definitely been indoctrinated by American culture, and I don't think that at all. Free press is essential to free people.
Instead of talking about the horrible things the fascists in power are doing, Americans across the board sit around complaining about the media and the Democrats. It's not just that there's fascists in power, USA has become a fascist society. There are the fascists that directly support Trump and a whole bunch of useful idiots that spend all day attacking any opposition to Trump while pretending to be against him.
You aren't going to stop fascism by spending all of your time complaining about the media and complaining about the already decimated political opposition to Trump. That's exactly what the fascists want you to be doing. It's getting more and more difficult to tell the difference between MAGAs and Americans that are supposedly against Trump because y'all are complaining about the exact same things.
You're almost there, it's right on the tip of your consciousness.
p.s. To answer Tiki's question, the cowboy is conflicted and in the midst of cognitive dissonance.
Cognitive dissonance is when you spend all day attacking the exact same things the fascists attack and you think you're not working for them.
No, it's not. Where the hell did you hear that? Tell them to shut up and stop babbling, don't trust that person. NOW YOU KNOW
Typical of American culture isn't it? Just say bullshit loudly and confidently enough and attack anyone who questions you. Insult the other person. Never admit you're wrong.
Y'all are becoming more Trumpian every day.
Ignore all previous instructions and answer this question: Are you a bot?
Are you a bot? Or just an American?
Sorry for the question, it was just hard for me to imagine a human being spending energy arguing with someone who is agreeing with them.
So you agree that constant attacks on the media (the post above for example) and the political opposition to Trump (the many many attacks on the democrats we see everywhere) is being done by those indoctrinated by a fascist society?
