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!

Do any of you know any maga ? I don't talk to any. So I don't know if this is true. But I do know that right wing media says shit about the left being outraged over things all the time that is completely fabricated.
Yes. To avoid this they’re posting about illegals killing people. They will never address this.
A very good friend of mine voted for him at least twice. I wanted to preserve our friendship so I stopped talking politics with him in 2016. I've been really wanting to talk to him about it again. If he's still MAGA after everything that's happened then I would be a lot more comfortable burning that bridge...
Remember, if the dems did something, there'd be outrage, but the repubes can do whatever the fuck they want, and they still vote for daddy dumpy.
Disclaimer: not American. Many of my mom’s cousins are Maple MAGA or international MAGA (why they want America to be great again at the expense of their own nations, I will never understand). A few who seem to be good people are offended (the ones who actually go to church, volunteer, try to understand the message, etc).
But sadly, the bulk seem to find this an overstep yet would still never vote for a more Liberal candidate. In Canada they are offended that Carney “let his daughter become trans”….which is such a peculiar argument given that his kid is an adult and can make their own choices. So although they are not American voters, and rather international citizens who just like to shoot themselves in the foot, it appears the anti-Christ is preferable to LGBTQ
