Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Residents in a town that voted overwhelmingly for Trump and support his hardline immigration policies don't want to live with the consequences of those policies.

Personally I'd build the detention centre closer to the town.

NIMBYs are the entire MAGA base. That Venn diagram is a damn near circle for sure.

There are tons of NIMBYs who would consider themselves to be liberal or even progressive. Many would argue that they're not NIMBYs because their concerns are (to them) reasonable.

I'm thinking of where housing and services for the homeless and low income families get built, for example.

Not in my back yard?

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I'd build it around the town.

I thought they loved a high-security aesthetic? It really ties the neighborhood together.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not sure why they're complaining. It's a brand new gated community.

The build quality of the Trump ™ concentration camp is rather shoddy.

They were expecting build quality of Dachau and instead they have some tent city like sheriff Joe Arpaio's jail in Arizona.

They don't want to live out Zone of Interest in real life?
