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!

The prolife party is calling for death? This is a familiar pattern. How long you think until it comes out hes fucking kids?

Hey dude, got news for you. The leader of your party fucked children. Seems how he'd measure their vaginas is more of a risk to kids.

They're just following a simple set of rules for when you did something bad: reflect attention by creating an enemy that is smaller in size than the group who's attention you're deflecting. Since he isn't important and doesn't have the influence to pick a new enemy, poor guy has no choice to jump on a bandwagon. Current option in the us is "illegals" and "trans". Yes his actions are deplorabele and need to be countered, but let's not only pay attention to his deflection but also try and figure out why he feels the need to speak out against trans people. If he was just a biggot he could have kept his mouth shut too, if he was just kissing the butt of some trans-hater he would likely done so sooner. There could be another reason he is doing this now.

Party of family values.

I have a very simple mindset: hurting others is bad.

That's it. That's all.

But...

I think there is an exception to this: hurting a nazi. By letting a nazi alive, you are endangering other people, as the nazi will hurt others if left free. So even if hurting others is bad, hurting a nazi is in fact good beacuse you prevent damage to innocents. So yeah, hurt a nazi, it's a good thing for you and for others around you.

“Probable kiddyfiddler and pedo enabler from the pedo party wants to execute parents of trans children so the children are more vulnerable to said pedo party in state”. Should be a more accurate representation.

I said this would happen, and you called me a "gloom-and-doomer."

[–] gnuthing@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago

This is eugenics, parents of trans kids have faulty genes so we must be eliminated

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah he looks like it.
