- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Huh, look at that, 4 out of 10 Americans are braindead, as that's the only way you wouldn't realize the gas prices are Trumps fault. Well, Trump and I guess Israel, but Trump could have tried not being a sock puppet to somebody for a change.
The US is done for, as nearly 50% of the population is apparently living in an entirely different reality from the rest of the world or else so literally out of touch with current events they don't even understand a single thing that's happening at a national level.
This is your brain on Fox and Newsmax.
Yep. Their view of the world is even worse than if they didn't pay attention to any news source whatsoever. Before they could be brought back to reality, they would first have to through a stage of deprogramming and unlearning all the bullshit they have accepted as reality.
I bet this same set were howling about how "Biden did that" when it came to inflation and gas prices in 2022, though.
In my admittedly limited anecdotal experience on this, not one of them could explain how Biden "did that", though. Not one.
But this same set of idiots play dumb when any child can draw a straight line from the "fuck around" stage of PEDOnald's war on Iran to the "find out" stage of the price at the gas pump and the effect on the economy.
