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.

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!"

Isn't it weird how people like Pedonald cannot just, uh, change the channel?
They don't want anyone else to have the option of watching the show.
I remember how much the cons pretended to care about this so-called "cancel culture" they were going on and on about, but never had any actual evidence for?
Along with every single thing a Republican has ever accused anyone else of doing. It is simple projection, they want to be able to to do it themselves.
That combined with the reality that they are literally incapable of doing it themselves, infuriates them.
They're so bad at anything creative, let alone comedic. They would need North Korea level control and threaten the families of actually funny people to coerce them, in order to even come close.
If my anecdotal experiences with so many conservatives is any indication, they love to fall back on the argumentum ad baculum logical fallacy when it really comes down to it.
I honestly think that Rush Limbaugh got all his dumbfuck dittoheads talking about the ad hominem thing so they'd overlook just how often they like to fall back on logical fallacies of all kinds. That and maybe a preemptive strike over the inevitable fat jokes.
But seriously, I grew up surrounded by many, many angry rednecks who'd usually fall back on "I'm right, and I'll beat you up if you don't agree".
Pedonald is doing a version of this at the national scale - "agree with me/praise me or shut up".
The remote slipped between the couch cushions and he doesn't want to reach down there because JD Vance was alone in here this morning.
You know why cons hated cancel culture. Because they're often on the receiving end of the cancel for being honest about their hate of women, minorities, LGBTQ, etc.
They are perfectly fine dishing out cancels to anyone speaking like an egalitarian.
Ive noticed lately how Fuentes and the groypers have been more vocal. Why cosplay as Nazis, when you can be actual nazis?
Except - none of them were actually canceled for anything, were they? I don't know of one instance of some con asshole being cancelled.
From the hysterical way they were going on about it, there was some Democratic arm of the government taking cons off the air, off Facebook, off Twitter, and....this is just not a thing.
But they DEFINITELY want it to be a thing for anyone that even bothers making fun of their stupid movement and their leader slathered in makeup.
You can't be a tyrant if others are not taking you seriously.
This is why putin went after TV shows as well. Check show "Kukly" which were making fun of him until it was shut down in early 2000.
But the remote is all the way over there and he's already so comfy.
