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!

Is MAGA trying to say he didn't get booed? Even people who are deeply invested in the cult have to realize a lot of people don't like him.
That's a very small percent of the population.
Most people hate him.
The “Let’s Go Brandon” people are in denial and actually suffering from TDS?!
Nooooooooooooo
There’s a non insignificant portion of them that live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and would never think about going somewhere where there are enough human beings to see a large enough sample size of opinions for anything outside their bubble to be observed.
Im more shocked that some of those cultists even knew the World Cup was happening
Maybe. It might be better option than the recent talking points I saw on Youtube about Lord Farquaad from Shrek being a "good authortarian ruler" because he "prioritized his city" and "was deporting illegals".

GOP has appealed to the authority of "the silent majority" for going on 100 years. Post-Evangelical churches, aka christo fascist churches, have also fostered an "us vs them" culture. The non-biblical phrase, "be in the world but no of thew world" is a staple.
"Everyone (who matters) loves trump" is easier to lie about than "the majority of people love trump" Because the latter requires quantification. But if "everyone loves the dictator" you simply can write off every exception as invalid instead of quantifying them.
The key is thought termination. Close the loop before any pesky numbers or original thoughts get in. Thats why they all have the same talking points unless you can get to them before MAGA-Steam-Media tells them what to think and they literally can't form a sentence.
Have to hit that crime stop before the tight crime takes hold.
Are and have, every time. He was booed at FIFA and at NBA game, but he said it was "mostly cheers" despite all evidence to the contrary.
