Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Three—admitted last November—were from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.

That data is backed up by the US Refugee Admissions Program, a federal public-private interagency collaboration program that works on refugee resettlement.> ...

A presidential memo from September announced Trump’s intentions: that the refugees accepted “shall primarily be among Afrikaners from South Africa” and “other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands.”

The Trump administration sees Afrikaners, an South African ethnic group descended primarily from European settlers, as victims of white “genocide”—a racist conspiracy theory promoted by many on the far right, notably Elon Musk.

Disclaimer, I don't think harris would have been as bad as Trump. But this is the US.

If Harris won, do you think we’d be engaged in a war with Iran right now

Yes, Israel is America's ally and this is Israel's war. The choice would be between letting Israel get absolutely destroyed which would have unironically happened by now if there weren't 3 carrier groups trying to intercept missiles and drones, or going to war with Iran.

that the Epstein files would be as blocked as they are?

Yes, as an AG she spent her time refusing to charge pedos and disproportionately arresting (and arguing against the conditional release of) minorities. She worked with a know pedophile for four fucking years and called him one of the best people she knew.

Do you think she would have signed a bunch of EOs that are illegal to enrich herself and her family?

She went fairly middle class Californian to one of the richest women on Earth by the time she ended her tenure as Senator. You tell me. Maybe they would've been legal like how all other presidents massively enriched themselves in office. Maybe that'd be the difference.

Do you believe that ICE would have invaded cities all over the country, illegally capturing minorities and murdering two people?

It'd be way more than two, and it would be less invasion and more silent takeover based on how Biden and Obama used ICE to terrorize cities for decades.

The main difference is it would still be comfortable for the ever shrinking middle class, and it would be quiet since liberals by and large don't listen to unapproved news sources for information. Just like Obama's kills of US citizens across the world, just like Biden's record number of child arrests, many of whom are still detained in "Trump's" ICE facilities (or just missing).

Oof, this is certainly a take. I'll go ahead and just disagree and we can go our separate ways on this one.

Material analysis does tend to go contrary to liberal fantasy. Have a good life full of surprise and wonder at how the blue tie doesn't materially change things.

Don't you dare try to reason, mister!
