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

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!

Strip malls with O'Reilly Auto parts, Chick fil A, and some insurance agent... All next to Walmart, is culture. Just not very inspiring.
“I think our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge, you should try to cast aside your family, you should try to suppress what makes you a young man in the first place,” [Vance] said at Cpac.
It's really telling that this disingenuous, petulant fuck thinks teaching young men about concepts like consent, respect, and empathy is "suppressing every masculine urge." Y'know, because real "manly men" are unable to control their tempers, constantly worry about whether their performative masculinity is enough that nobody will think they're gay, and blame society for empowering women to avoid relationships with abusers.
Andrew Tate is their model for what a young man should be. That's why they brought him to America.
The booing incivility in a place known for etiquette is wonderful to see and hear.
Couch Guyliner must have felt a little hot under the collar in what was supposed to be a safe space.
And nice that artists have been canceling performances in the face of fascism.
Oligarchs should probably take note. But regardless of that: let's keep it up, good people. We are many.
You think people like him feel ashamed? Like do they have trouble falling asleep because they’re worried about all the hate they’re getting? Or leaving the house not knowing if they’re getting shamed again? I’d really like to know what is going on in his cabbage patch kid shaped head.
Being charitable, I assume he believes he has a moral / holy halo around him, that he’s doing “the right thing” and “they don’t understand.”
Being less charitable, he probably masturbates to it.

Those poor couches...
Yea, probably the latter.
he brought his own couch to fuck later
Don't be silly...
He brought his side couch. His own is at home getting the stains out.
For how long will it remain just vocal discontent?
As long as it needs to.
People need to feel empowered to actually rebel.
The louder and louder the vocal discontent grows, the harder the regime cracks down. The harder they crack down, the angrier people get, and the louder they get. Volume is equated with numbers. There is a point, and we can't really predict when, that it will break.
Remember, the US is huge and not very densely populated save for some big cities. We have centuries of propaganda instilled in us that we are powerless beside our vote. As soon as a rebellion occurs, people can expect that their quality of life will drop off a cliff. We have to make sure we are prepared for that, and with most of us living paycheck to paycheck (by design) it's a lot harder to do.
As a troll, he probably felt orgasm when hearing boos
