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!

We were unified in the 30’s and these assholes weren’t homegrown.
It’s a different climate now. We’re not prepared for it.
Read history again. Half the Nazi ideology came from the states. (not literally half, just speaking lazily) Nazis DEFINITELY weren't the only ones screeching about how the white man was superior...
It was just Reconstruction 2.0... The US failed to purge evil yet again. There's only one place a bigoted racist whos willing to violently enact their racism belongs, and it's not breathing. The US has failed time and again to deliver actual justice to a single soul.
Is there anything you people actually like?
I don't know if I'm one of those people, but I'm a huge fucking fan of antifa. My grandfather fought fascism in WW2 and, call me old fashioned, that just kinda stuck with me.
I’d guarantee your grandfather didn’t call everything he didn’t like fascist like you kids do.
"everything"
Sure buddy.
Yeah the GOP aren't fascists at all, they're just a group of religious, authoritarian ethno-nationalists that oppress minorities, advocate violence, recruit the disenfranchised by blaming minorities who are simultaneously weak and a dire threat, and promising a return to an idealized, fictional past. That's totally not the textbook definition of fascism at all. /s
I didn’t say the GOP wasn’t fascist. You’re clearly reading what you WANT to see instead of reading for context.
My point is an argument against the kids that call EVERYTHING they disagree with fascist. Including democrats/Biden.
Stop sensationalizing everything everyone says and lean what nuance means. It’ll save you and everyone that will ever have to deal with tog a LOT of time.
Us kids? You don't know my grandfather. And you don't know me. And apparently you don't know math all that well, either. Mate, I have a grandchild of my own.
I’d guarantee your grandfather didn’t call everything he didn’t like fascist like you kids do.
I will be a dictator, but only from Day 1 is not Faschist?
Storming the capital beating people to death and wiping shit on the walls is just a normal day?
I’m talking about the asshats that say the democrats are fascists as well. If you’re not one of them, then you spoke out of turn.
Truth? Accuracy? Justice? Egalitarianism?
ROFL! right. You just disagree every time evidence of those things are shown to you.
Who exactly are "you people" in this context and why are you upset?
I meant to say “kids” and said, “you people” instead. I suppose you now want to line up your comrades and shoot me full of holes for my mistake?
And I assure you I’m not upset about anything. I’m certainly not whining online about every and anything I see. If anything, I’m just baffled how someone can be so angry about everything, and think their road is high enough to hypocritically cast aspersions on someone else.
Whos being a hypocrite here? You just sound like a judgemental asshole that doesn't want to hear others' opinions.
I have a pro tip for you: If others' opinions offend you, you don't have to continue reading comments or reply.
Woah there! No need to get upset! Just look back through this comment chain and realize that you invited yourself into it. Then take your own advice.
Or, you know…. You can retreat to your default seeing of OUTRAGE!!!!
Gonna block you now. You have nothing useful to contribute.
You realize you're the one complaining about hearing an opinion instead of debating the merits of the opinion... right? You're the only one responding like that. Pathetic troll.
