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

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!

Next thing you know they're gonna start raising their right (left?) arms at a roughly 45° angle upwards, fingers pointing to the sky, palms towards the ground. They'll silently watch the fire as they think in their tiny chimp brains that Nazis are true Americans and everyone else is an illegal alien who needs to be gassed.

all while goosestepping to the audio book of My Thoughts By Trump, (shadow written by somebody else because he only writes with sharpies and crayons)
Mine Komp(romat) by ~~covfefe~~ Trump
I wouldn't be shocked at all if Trump actually published a book suposedly authored by him, but was really just plagerized version of Mein Kampf. (And while, yes, it's 'my struggle', i felt 'my thoughts' would be more ironic.)
Ah, you mean the Bellamy salute!
"It's a traditional salute! There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's part of our heritage™"
Didn't know that was the name of it, at least in the context of US history. Too bad a certain mustachioed dictator ruined both that and this symbol: 卍
Posers, man. They steal your thing and ruin it for everyone.
I'm just glad that the army exists to protect the constitution.
I can't imagine a coup attempt from these chucklefucks going any way but atrociously for anyone who steps to the US Army.
As long as it's your own flag...
Last month, the Colorado GOP called for parents to pull all children from public schools, claiming Democrats use schools to “turn more kids trans.”
Colorado GOP, I ask you... To what end? Why would democrats benefit from this?
Puts aluminum hat on
Trans are, on average, less likely to vote Republican than Cis folks.
Takes aluminum hat off
Republicans have to keep voters scared. Otherwise they might consider voting for other parties.
THEY TOOK R WIENERZ!
Is that where they went? I swear I had 3 wienerz on me here just a few minutes ago. Now...
Sounds like you weren't late to the sausage party. I take it you must've gotten the wieners off?
you can buy as many wiernerz as you want on amazon. Discrete shipping, too. Usually.
So I'm gonna change my kids gender to own the ~~libz~~ pubs? Cool theory, bros.
It's projection. Republicans control youth through their own cult of religion. They cut education so young people have a hard time realizing they're being controlled.
They expect democrats are doing the same through pride and gay culture, that because those demographics tend to vote blue, it must be a political play to brainwash young people into voting blue.
It's projection.
Speak for yourself. I'm trying to convert their kids just for the lulz.
/s
Fear mongering.
Sounds like it's time to start selling pride flags
My neighbors just put out a couple little pride flags. I should do the same.
Sure, please buy them and donate to the cause then you can do whatever you want with them in the privacy of your own home.
Golden charity opportunity. Show up to a rally with a sign that says "$50 for flags to burn". Take the money and donate to to worthy causes like the Trevor Project and other LGBT support organizations.
The message to Colorado Republicans was headlined with an image reading “God Hates Flags,” a nod to the anti-gay slur on the picket signs of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church.
So the article acknowledges that the GOP is clearly hinting that they agree with the loons at Westboro Baptist but fails to draw the obvious conclusion. If they are starting with God Hates Flags and ending with Burn Pride Flags, this is clearly a call for violence against LGBTQ+ people. If you know any LGBTQ+ folk in the area, keep an eye on them. Some red-hat loons will potentially respond to this not so subtle call to action.
