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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Fox news at 9: IT WAS MOUNTED ON TOP OF A STOP SIGN, DOES IT MEAN 'STOP TRUMP'???

[–] paper_moon@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I know this is a joke, but it made me think of 2024 and how I was genuinely confused by my multiple neighbor's "Love Trumps Hate" signs in 2024 in a very liberal area. I legimately thought they were saying they love the level of hate Trump is spewing, because that's how crazy those people had gotten. Also, why would you use a word that is the same as the guys name, in a sign protesting said guy. A few weeks later someone clued me in, but god damn, this timeline is so fucking stupid when i legitimately thought the Trump people were "just telling it like it is".

As a disclaimer, I'm fully aware of the phrase love trumps hate, and the meaning of the word 'trump', but in this over politicized environment it just didn't dawn on me that was the intended meaning.

Another one of Charlie's kids I see.

Another good example of low quality information streams culminating in an explosive brand of dissonance. I expect more chaos of this sort, as we deepen the idiocracy, and people go mad trying to reconcile their ideologies with reality.

I do see the logic in those atop the hierarchy pushing faith-based ideologies ahead of climate calamity. Should Project 2025 continue apace, I'm very curious to see how the various denominations respond to rapid environmental change. I expect a lot of them to lose it like this guy and fight it out. On the other hand, I could also see "faith" providing the blinders needed for a larger population to persist a bit longer. The faithful are also more likely to sacrifice themselves, so it could be an effective population control lever to pull at some point, i.e. Snow Crash.

Don't worry, Kash found an engraved bullet up his butt. It turns out he accidentally sat on it. It said:

MAGA communist

This beautiful & stable MAGA person got corrupted by radical leftists

Shooter is crazy, most probably, but "broken clock..."

[–] TuffNutzes@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Because of course he did.

Ok, and? While he is yet another right leaning guy that chose violence it doesn’t seem like this was a political killing but rather a guy who hated LDS.
