Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

The Bible teaches them to believe their rulers are ordained by God, American conservatives are in lock step with the Bible regarding leadership. They are not consistent with all of the Bible, but they are certainly consistent with the Bible in this regard.
In short, the reason why Trump is President was because God ordained it. This has been used by many rulers all over the globe for centuries, long before America was ever founded.
Also, I was raised by conservatives, and I can't speak for every one in the USA, but I can tell you that many are true believers.
