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!

Right, like Muslims were voting for Biden in the first place. Something I learned early and hardcore, was the worst of them are the ones who already got theirs. These Muslims who are going to "abandon" Biden, were already voting to have other Muslims restricted from entering the states, I guarantee you.
I know Cubans who want to close borders, I know Mexicans who can't stand other immigrants and even fly god damn rebel flags on their trucks, it's fucking wild.
One of my friends is Indian -- they immigrated to the USA, and his parents are in a pretty elevated caste, and they are Trump supporters through and through. They sit there chanting "Build The Wall" like idiots...
I can’t really wrap my head around that kind of thinking. It’d be fascinating sociologically if it wasn’t so sad and evil and ongoing.
I've been using the term "ladder kickers" for a few months regarding people like this
I will say that I know quite a few Asian "white supremacists". My mother is basically one. They got theirs and seem to forget that we are the whipping boys every time anything bad happens (if it weren't for my Grandmother being brutally attacked, and likely murdered if my Uncle had not demonstrated the stereotype and gone Bruce Lee to beat the ever loving shit out of some mother fuckers, I would laugh). The weekly call back home has been increasingly frustrating and hilarious as I watch someone who spent the past twenty years mainlining fox news trying to come to terms with being their bogeyman.
That said: I am not convinced it is particularly worse than any other demographic. Well to do(-ish) boomers tend to shift republican because that is what they were indoctrinated into and they think they will benefit. Millenials, who haven't been corrupted by 4chan and south park, tend to vote liberal, if not leftist, because we know shit matters. Doesn't matter if you are white, yellow, brown, red, or black or anything in between those ridiculously racist skin color shorthands.
Yeah white supremacists didn’t patent racism (some probably tried) but they have been the most gaslighty about it. Really sucks to see it gaining traction everywhere… a-fuckin-gain. STOP PUTTING A QUARTER IN THAT MACHINE! It just bucks you off and kicks you on the way down.
Sorry your folks have those tendencies, but your uncle sounds like a bugs bunny badass though.
I’m sure most of 4chan and South Park fans would take issue with that btw but w/e thanks for sharing

Birds of a feather...
You should participate in the steeple chase in the olympics. Because you're pretty good at jumping...to conclusions.
