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!

Anti-Intellectualism manifest you mean. Everything Magats don't understand is perceived as an attack on their imagined superior intellect - the ravings of mad men.
Maga is simply an conglomerate of everyone who would have been laughed out of the room when they uttered their bullshit. The internet just showed up how many stupid people are out there and gave them a way to connect.
I didn't think that the eternal september would end in this shit.
keywords related to diversity, gender, vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 to screen for projects that ran afoul of the Trump administration’s priorities.
Welcome to the new and improved NAZI USA, where false beliefs beat science, and religious bigotry is considered a virtue.
It’s a miracle Magats can even read those keywords, understanding them is miles over their heads.
don't need to, they asked Grok
Don’t think so, those magats would love the lolita fanfic.
Brought to you by the most mediocre government in recent history...
Turned out those eLIteS with education had some value after all
Bidens government was mediocre.
This is self-sabotage on an unprecedented scale which threatens the livelihoods of the absolute scientific elite in the country, which already caused them to flee en masse. The damage is already done, the courts can only try to salvage the scraps caused by people who hate everything they don't understand.
"Mediocre" wouldn't be so destructive
They can't. That's what the cat farts are for.
