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!

100% right here. Propaganda has taken MAGA so easily. Humans in the future will wonder why they were so easily hooked.
You'd think so but what did we used to say about Nazi Germany and now where are we at?
We wonder the same about Germans in the 30's, but I think I can better understand why they did. I have no idea why we did.
Its almost like the same parasite that infected the germans has slowly taken root in the usa.
Have a black man as president broke the national brain. It would be like a Uyghur chairman in China. See how fast the Han chin se would break... Further.
Eh the US had cancer long before Obama. Nixon, Reagan, Gingrich, W (or Chaney if you like) were all slow walking things to where the US is now.
When the death certificate on American empire is written, the cause of death will read: “Opulence, ignorance, corruption”, or simply “capitalism”.
Well alas we've seen it all before Knights in armour, days of yore The same old fears and the same old crimes We haven't changed since ancient times
While we all have and know so much information in our modern age, the average peasant during the rebound age of the 21st century knew less in total then you can find on a single digiread today.
We are starved for true knowledge while drowning in information.
