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!

And after this ordeal is over, I'm sure that just like all of the other families that have been through this, they'll see the error of their way anlololololoololololol, sorry, i couldn't even finish saying that with a straight face.

Of course they'll go right back to supporting Trump, just like all the others. Trump could fuck their wives and they'd sit there watching like a cuck with a MAGA hat on.

Yep, exactly. Well, given that it's Taco, he'd probably want their daughters instead.

This is the most Republican of Republican attitudes - they don't give a toss about others outside their circle of concern having their lives made needlessly miserable by conservative policies. Then it hits home, and they are clutching their pearls.

Until the crisis is over. Then they go right back to supporting Trump.

I'm baffled that it doesn't occur to people that the rules will apply to them

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

I think it's the mindset that creates conservatives and Republicans. The rules are for other people.
