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!

Remember when Trump demanded MAGA supporters protest out of the courthouse and barely a half a dozen showed up?
His physical support is waning. But there's still assholes who vote Republican so don't slip up with his numbers.
As someone from the south who lives in one of the cities where he held a klan rally—oops, campaign stop, I can assure you that there are several places where his fan club is very much alive and kicking.
You don't have to be in the south to notice that. New Hampshire, Vermont, plenty of northern states are infested
Right. It's several places. My town is one example.
It’s sort of interesting to realize that even though it’s still only May, I haven’t seen much of any campaign signs out. That may change, but I vaguely recall a plethora of yard signs, even in May 2020.
Heck, even the one sign I did see put up - One for RFK that went up in February - was taken down about a month ago.
I sort of feel that everyone is a bit wishy-washy this cycle.
The only signs I'm seeing are at the houses that have had them up since 2016.
Oh, down here in several parts the signs haven't come down since 2016.
I do live in a small city, so that probably factors. When you get out of population centers, you do pretty readily see Trump bumper stickers, other random political messaging on vehicles, and I’m sure if I went into rural towns, I’d see more yard signs.
On a highway outside of town, there was a farm that had a quarter billboard-sized Trump 2016 sign facing the highway from 2016-2020. It was changed to a 2020 one, but after the election, someone spray painted “Pussies” on both sides of it in neon pink marking paint.
It stayed that way for a few months, but now it’s a for sale sign.
The brain worm club?
That’s RFKJ. This is the shitbrain club.
Brain worms and adult diapers club.
Maybe they were onto something with that horse dewormer. Won't do jack shit for COVID, but might for their brain worms.
I automatically think your talking about RFK “voters” now.
Same club.
I feel like that's putting it nicely.
