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!

The Devil took over the GOP around 1980 or so. And I don't mean Reagan, I mean the literal guy with the horns and pitchfork. Evangelicals are almost all Devil-worshipers. Their master teaches them to hate, so they hate.
This is the fruit of Christianity. Hate and division
Blaming Christianity is so disingenuous. American conservatism has always been about fear of the other. Christianity was just a convient excuse. Even before evangelical conservatism became major thing the root cause was European superiority.
This all started at the beginning of the country
I would agree if this was an American only phenomenon, but American Christianity isnt the only flavour and it isnt the only one which propagates hate and division.
Unfortunately christianity is a religion of fear, a religion of obedience to power and might makes right, a religion of total control and dominance. In effect it embeds and empowers fascism.
You can say that about every religion, political party, or social construct. The primitive part of our brains are programmed to fear what is different from us whether class, ethnicity, race, religion or even fandom. Im not even a Christian but acting like Christianity or any religion is the sole reason for this is naive.
If it wasn't religion it'd be something else
I never said it was the sole reason. Youre attacking me for a position I neither hold nor expressed.
