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!

Must be difficult for your son to have such a dickhead as a mother. You voted to fuck over immigrants, to fuck over black people, to fuck over trans people, and now, you're surprised they also want to fuck over the one minority you care about...
I'm sorry, were you too busy being excited hearing about the deportations and the "two gender" bullshit to hear the part that actually affected your own selfish interests? Wanted to fuck over everyone else but those you care about and now you're big sad and feeling betrayed?
Aww, my poor, poor conservative learning the same god damn lesson every time you get what you think you want but never learning from it, must be hard for you, now you're gonna have to deal with the misery you wished upon everyone but you...
I hope your son gets the help he is OWED, but you're the one that treated it as a privilege to take away. He got what you wanted. It wasn't a fucking asterisk at the end of the contract written in 2pt, it was written in giant fucking neons.
Your son deserves all the help he can get, dignity is owed to everyone. Let's start with a better mother.
It's worse than that, I'm afraid. The author of the article is a woman. So not only does she not care enough about her son to vote against the party who wants to kill him... she doesn't care enough about her gender to vote against the party that wants to strip them of their rights.
White women in particular are Trumps biggest supporter

Oh, fuck it's a woman, I'm sorry, my misandry (/misogyny) got the best of me I guess. Not proud of that. :|
I guess that's what I get for reacting to the headline without reading the fucking article, don't I? Trying to be better at that. I just reacted quickly because like, at this point, I've read so many of these.
I don't even know if I can bear to read another one of these people just getting exactly what they voted for and being shocked by it. It's infuriating when I know that it fucked the lives of so many people who tried to warn them, but they didn't listen.
