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 live in a very small town, a very red town. The amount of people from friends and family posting rip This means war, etc etc, I've already lost most the friends in my life during Trump's first term. About to lose a few more. wife and daughter are about my only social circle left.
I have to be very careful with what I post on other social media oherwise I'd most likely lose my job and be blacklisted from the community with no funds to move. Fuck I hate it here.
I really just want to scream fuck him in the town square
Right there with you brother. All our town billboards were about Kirk today... Father ..husband... Patriot. I never speak politics at work or in social circles. People here assume I'm a repub but the wife and I vote blue in every election. Not that it does any good. Keep on being you on the down low and know you are in some good company.
You really need to get out of there. We might have to retake that town someday.
Would love to. My wife and I make more money now than we have at any point in our lives and we have almost nothing to show for it and we've worked full time with no layoffs for 30 years and have each only changed jobs once. . We don't spend frivolously we just don't save well and when we do it always seems something comes up and wipes out our bank account, health, vehicle, etc.
I would move out.
