politics
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!

How much of a feckless doofus babybrain do you have to be to see this and not imagine that the monster they're creating will be turned on minorities, dissidents, and ultimately anybody inconvenient to the regime? Even if you're a twisted sack of shit who likes the sound of that, you're about as sharp as a sock full of soup if you think this will work out for you.
They understand all that. What they don't understand is that the in-group will keep shrinking until they're no longer in it.
I'm running out of ways to describe such mental myopia.
I'm running out of ways to even mentally react to the escalating holocaust. I feel hopeless. The holocaust is happening and there's nothing I can do to stop it. People I love might be victims of it. If it spreads to Canada, just as the nazis spread to neighbouring countries, I might be a victim of it. The nazis might destroy everything I care about and I just have to try and carry on in the meantime because I don't want to stop living because of a threat that may not get to me. The threat may hang over my head for decades, I don't want to stop living in the meantime. I must carry on and just hope Canada stays safe from the nazis. As Nick Fury said, until such time as the world ends we will act as though it intends to spin on
Lying. They're just lying to you. Lots of people believe them because they believe things based on how good they feel to think about.
They also don't seem to understand that these leaders will put them all in the poor house.
History ignored is history repeated
We all saw this shit coming and it still happened, I don't know what to tell you. History enthusiasts love to say that, but historians are usually even gloomier.
I am stealing that sock full of soup phrase. Thank you for your service.
I actually got that from Corner Gas, which someone recommended to me the other day when I was asking for show recommendations!
