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!

At first you feel anger at the thief for robbing people .... but after a while ... a good long while ...
You start feeling anger towards the victims because they just sit there doing absolutely nothing as they keep getting robbed again and again without them lifting a finger other than to complain and sit aside as their house gets robbed again.
I'm not angry at people who have done nothing. Lives are busy, people were not educated properly, etc.
But the people who are actually protecting the thieves I fucking despise.
Of everyone in our society, it's the propagandists that I fucking despise more than anything in the entire universe. There is no punishment, no physical pain too great for them.
People like Sean Hannity deserve the type of medieval torture device that would make even the Nazis gasp.
People can actually do something if they all coordinated and organized themselves. Mass demonstrations or coordinated strikes or boycotts.
For instance, just boycott one single company ... any company ... and run it into the ground. Everyone could go about their daily lives with moderate, minimal or even no inconvenience, yet they'd still be protesting something. Like just boycott one supermarket chain ... go shop as much as you want at every other store, just boycott the one. Then once that company goes completely under, you do it again and again and again ... and most common people would not be affected but it would slowly knock down individual companies.
Instead, everyone thinks that some magical saviour, politician, program, group, super hero or miracle will just fall out of the sky and save everyone and everything and they would not have had to do any work or give any effort to make it possible.
