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, but they are the alpha macho men that are not afraid of anything. Don't they realize how pathetic they look when they base their opinions on pure expressions of fear? Of fear, in particular, of what they consider "lesser?"
Very few things in life are more fun than taking the wind out of the sails of dickheads like those.
They're absolute pussies and dipshits, trying to cover for what they lack - bravery, heart, empathy, intelligence, true strength and wisdom.
They haven't even got a cunning plan.
All they've got is bullying and ganging up with other little dipshit bullies and wannabe bullies in large numbers. They are not The Majority, though they need to believe they are.
They operate on false information and are afraid of things which aren't happening or don't even exist. They are afraid of their own shadows - they are afraid of everyone, they don't trust anyone. Their relationships are transactional and their love is conditional.
They boast about how strong they are because they doubt themselves... as they should, being a bunch of sad, scared, paranoid, foolish fascist idiots.
They do not accept themselves - they hate themselves most of all. The veneer is very thin and they know how many people can see right through it straight away.
All they've got is bullying and ganging up with others in transactional arrangements where they can't trust anyone because they're all in it for themselves against everyone, including each other.
Don't mistake posturing for strength. Even the image they choose to portray gives away their weaknesses.
An "alpha" wouldn't need the approval (or disapproval) of anyone else at all - it's all self-delusion and cope.
They are so, so weak!
They are men that project the image of not being afraid of anything. They are actually very scared of a lot of things. Lots of their shit is performative.
