Late Stage Capitalism
A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

MAGA is not the Tea Party
Completely different Christian extremist organizations.
The Tea Party doesn't exist as a separate movement anymore. They were a racist reaction to Obama becoming president, and an act of populist rebellion against the establishment Republicans that were willing to compromise with Democrats. They were the trailer trash wing of the GOP, and they were wildly popular with their base for it.
They all became MAGA, as soon as Trump threw his hat in the ring back in 2015.
Tea Party is just a small circle inside the bigger maga circle.
