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!

It is absolutely ridiculous that they can see themselves behaving like violent assholes, and not stop and go, "Maybe we're the problem?"

Or trump's fucked up rhetoric. He didn't even bother distancing himself from the PR garbage statement. He embraced it. He embraces political violence and saw over a million americans fucking die; most of them his supporters... and sent a violent mob in insurrection because he lost.

And yet, people being like "Hey, lets be decent to one another," are the fucking demons. Christofascists. the lot of them.

It’s not that ridiculous when you consider what religion is and the fact that they fell for it. Once you put yourself in that situation you open yourself up to abuse and exploitation. That’s all this is.

Christians are the demons, always have been. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAM8ILWgYb4

Vote for Trump, defeat demons.

Pick one

If you do the first, you’ll likely have more opportunities to do the second down the line… assuming you survive.

"No, John. You are the demons."

And then John was a zombie.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

FWIW, Jesus was the zombie. John was a ghost.

If the man described in the gospels exists as a deity I think he’s probably more in favor of my anarchist queer pagan ass than these followers of his. He wasn’t unclear about his demands being to disrupt society through mutual aid, radical kindness, and an embrace of equality
