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!

I mean. It is, tho. It's literally a plan by the right. And the Epstein class is literally the right establishment, his best friend is literally their winning presidential candidate, twice.
The distinction is that a rural american can believe they are a right-wing and no one will deny them that affiliation. So the framing of 'left vs right' captures those rural america folks.
They cannot possibly consider themselves on the inside among the billionaire class, and Epstein class is a good pejorative to highlight precisely how much those folks get away with that rural americans don't see.
You are factually correct, that the entirety of the 'right' in practice is controlled by those hyper wealthy interests, but the framing should focus on the owner class's misbehavior to everyone's detriment rather than implicitly excluding whatever other conservative values the population may possess.
The only war is a class war.
yes, and right wing politics are the politics of the ruling class.
Indeed and its a clear right-left split
It's a plan by the wealthy, who couldn't give less of a shit about abortion, or bible verses in schools, or trans athletes. The wealthy have co-opted the right to implement their plan for them.
Some of them legit care about those things, too. But they also know they can escape to freedom since they are the true "globalists", ironically. Money can go virtually anywhere, and people with enough of it can also go virtually anywhere as well. They can easily escape the hell that the conservative-created Jesusland would be...
There has never been legislation thats come from the Heritage Foundation that democrats didnt love. They put up no opposition to P25 because they support it
Democrats have had 45 Senators for Trump's second term, 48 or less senators for the past 13+ years.
But I would love to hear an example?
Doesn't change the fact that Democrats have largely supported bills written by HF
Such as?
KOSA, ACA, COPPA, SOPA, P2025 have been the latest
S.1748, first attempted in 2024 as S. 1409, is in a senate committie, yet to be passed by either house or senate, but it certainly does have some bipartisan support, the question being if the final version conforms to P25
COPPA was passed in 1998
ACA as in the Affordable Care Act? IDK wtf you've been smoking but the GOP fucking hates that we cover disadvantaged healthcare needs with taxes, it's definitely not 2025 agenda.
SOPA is from 2011
No idea what bill youre referring to with P2025, I think you're confused about a lot of things.
I didnt confuse anything, those are all bills written by HF with dem support
