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.

99 percent of what Trump says is false. Either because it's a deliberate lie, or because he doesn't know what he's talking about. Probably the only honest and true thing he said is that he would like to fuck his daughter.
And yet, there’s barely any content online that truly calls out all the lies. Sure, there are daily articles and posts, but nothing really sticks. It feels like we have the attention span of goldfish.
There have never really been any consequences, because as the opposition, we’re not actually opposing effectively. Unlike the right, who oppose Democrats with every fiber of their being. I still see people driving around with a dozen “F*** Biden” stickers and anti-vaccine slogans on their cars. I still see guys standing on overpasses with pictures of Bill Gates and posters about the New World Order.
Meanwhile, on the left? I think there was a protest last week. It lasted a few hours, maybe. A lot of people showed up, walked around, and then went home. I’m not even sure what the protest was about, but everyone seemed to feel like they accomplished something.
But that right-wing guy on the overpass? He’s been out there for a year. And somehow, my grandma thinks Bill Gates is a pedophile trying to start a New World Order—but she has no idea that Trump is disappearing people.
So I don’t get it. One guy on an overpass vs. millions marching in the street. Something isn’t right. I mean I get it everyone, there fascists, they're Nazis. Maybe if we just keep saying it then other people will realize it to on their own but maybe not. Maybe we need to do more collectively than March and call them names. Maybe we need to shape culture instead of just hiding from it all and being reactive.
