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!

I thing people on the left need to appreciate the power behind that word and why it needs to be used against these fascist assholes.
I think you need to appreciate that some people are clinically "retarded" and importantly not fascist assholes and don't deserve the comparison.
No, fuck fascist pieces of shit, we don't need to use ableist slurs, what power does it have? It has no power against Trump or his followers, at most it will make them mad and hit their wife more. I'm sorry I already replied but this is just so irritating to see so much and makes no sense at all and only hurts vulnerable people.
It needs to be recycled to reference only absolutely inept, ignorant, malignant pieces of shit like Trump.
People with cognitive impairement of any kind don't deserve to be insulted and made fun of.
But Trumptards? Absolutely
The offense doesn't come from who it's directed towards, using it as a slur maintains the idea that it's disgusting or malignant to be disabled. How would it sound if people called them the N word, or gay? They would be offended at that wouldn't they?
I'm sure a young person with a learning disabiliy who gets called that by bullies would love if people used it more. I know it's really great everytime people call Trump gay. Can you explain why it needs to be used?
Trump's gay?
No probably not, maybe bi, but I just mean like talking about him being gay for Putin or whatever, pictures of them kissing, that sort of thing.
