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!

How is it that the most extreme mouth piece changed their tune, but the middle chucklefucks didn't?
It's because Greene actually drank the kool-aid, and has now found out what's in it, whereas most of the others only pretend to like it.
I think those who dont truly believe but follow anyway are more vile than those who were duped
Well, there are also those who truly believe and like the Kool-Aid, the really committed white supremacists such as Stephen Miller and Elon Musk. They probably win the evilness contest.
They are the ones making the Kool aid
Yeah, but they are absolutely wasted on their own supply.
It's like the member of the group that just now realized they were getting made fun of the whole time.
A big part of why the republican party has been so successful politically is their unwavering unconditional loyalty to the party. They can make waves politically with a smaller amount of people as long as they stay united. It's basically mostly just political strategy. It's also why this is a huge fucking deal. We can use this to start putting more pressure on the republican party and making that strategy less viable.
Some people think jumping ship in frigid waters will save them somehow, when there's no search and rescue looking for them... while other's are wise to just go down with the ship anyway... at least they feel like they're not alone.
they think they can still make money and gain power through their connection to him, maybe?
You run to the right to wing the primary and waddle back to the center when you've got control. Because the center is where all the money's at. The fringe is just people spun up hard enough to show up at convensions, scream at people during board meetings, and then stomp through oppressive heat and knock doors until nightfall for weeks at a time to scream "They're destroying America!" at anyone who answers the door.
