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!

Of course kid rock is going to headline.
Can I just ask a question though, have you noticed that turning point and the daily wire and such seem to be building a media landscape akin to evangelical Christians? Like they're trying to build an alternative media landscape separate from the mainstream media landscape that reinforces their views much in the same way that evangelical Christians do.
That's what they have been doing since at least the Ronnie Raygun era unleashed this.
They started all of the hate radio networks and poured money into, started Faux "News" and poured money into that (didn't make money for 5 years and even then it probably only works because of the lack of ala carte programming on cable).
If you are starting a cult, and that's what the Republican Party/conservative movement is, you don't want anyone countering your propaganda. That's why cults encourage their members cut off family contact and so on.
That's part of the "culture war" repugs have been harping on about forever. Alternative art, alternative schools, alternative software.. Always needing to create parallel spaces as they are ostracized out of the mainstream.
Which I'd be fine with if they'd just fuck off to their alternate universe and leave the rest of us alone.
We need another New World.
