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!

So, Conservapedia, but with even more hare brained conspiracy theories?
Well, more funding for sure.
I'm sure if the people that started Conservapedia largely because they were incensed about the academic versions of dates [1] that didn't center their little book club - CE/BCE - had much more funding they'd have the same level of conspiracy theories and racism.
[1] In their own words:
Emphasis is mine to highlight just what fucking snowflakes we are dealing with here. I'm sure fElon's motivations have a very similar snowflake quality.
Schlafly. Of course.
Some gene lines should not be allowed to reproduce.
It still makes me LOL that part of the motivation for Schlafly was the CE/BCE thing, British spellings, the fact that Wikipedia doesn't treat fairy tales like the Great Flood as a given, nor does it assume the divinity of the character of Jesus, and certainly views Young Earth Creationism as the pseudo scientific bullshit that it truly is.
Schlafly thinks that adherence to facts makes Wikipedia "liberal" and six times more left wing than the American mainstream.
He’s trying to outdo his mother in both stupidity and evil.
