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!

Replace the stars on the flag with his face too while you're at it! Hell, change the name of the country to Charliekirkistan too, why the hell not?!

Fucking hell, this really is the dumbest timeline...

I think one thing about history we don't get is how incredibly stupid fascist are. They are hateful and bigoted. At the core of it they are scared little boys that never grew up. They live in a privileged position they don't deserve and are insecure about it. That fear and insecurity is what leads them to the comfort of Fascism. It makes them feel strong when they are weak. It makes them feel smart when they are dumb. Once they control the state it's quite obvious how worried they are.

Yes. They are racist pieces of shit. But I think we give too much credit to the past and "the strength of Fascism". The Nazis were the same little boys LARPing in their delusions. Seeing it repeat today with live streams in 4k is just really showing the contradictions of their ideology. They will crumble if resisted with any meaningful numbers. It's why they are so quick to attack and silence anyone that stands up to them.

YES! Mock fascists, attack their fragile egos, and do not obey in advance with their BS.
