Wait! I'm not with THEM! There's an unfortunately loud part of the country that is giving the GOP, conservatives, and Americans a bad name. This comm is for the rest of us, the quiet majority. If there is anything worth conserving, it's our values: Respect, Integrity, and Truth.
This comm is for the posting about US politics from a right, but not alt-right, perspective.
Rules:
- Treat each other with respect. Follow lemmy.today instance rules. Follow your instance rules.
- Social media posts must either include a timestamp in the image or be accompanied by a timestamp in the text of the post. Posts with an inaccurate or missing timestamp will be removed. Relative timestamp (e.g. "5 mins ago") will be removed.
- Only use high quality news sources. They all have bias, but quality and truth are a requirement. News articles must have a non-fictitious, non-anonymized byline. Fox is not a high quality news source.
- Don't post memes, but you can comment with them.

I'm not sure this is a good fit for this community. Voters made their voice heard, a mostly blue city elected a blue mayor, then it's fear mongering and identity politics. I feel the article boils down to "get a load of a this guy! ha, we don't like him, right?" Not because of his policies, not his actions, but mostly his party and his race. It's an attack with zero substance.
I'll leave it up for now and see how people vote. I'm aware you bring a couple of downvoters, I'll keep that in mind.
It's from Newsweek, and I did notice that they have changed the title of the article to be less clickbait-y just now as well. Well, not sure if less clickbait or more, but their new title of article is: "Republicans Pile On as Zohran Mamdani Becomes Democrats' New Lightning Rod" I updated to match the title in link.
But for sure, if you don't think it fits the theme of your comm, I can respect you removing it. I did think it was an interesting take on the situation though, because I didn't realize that some Dems were upset about Zohran. I think it's more of they probably think since he's kind of new-dem, that it takes away from their more established dems that they want to stay in power. Iv'e seen nothing to indicate it's about race. I actually like the guy, even tho it's not my style of politics. I lean more libertarian.
