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!

Yeah. First, their brains were totally busted by Clinton, mainly for a few things.
Having an uppity wife who was not just there to be arm candy and had ideas about policies.
Being the first boomer. And all that represents, culturally. Or at least what being a boomer used to mean before the psyops campaigns to set Gen Y and younger at the throat of everyone older, mostly boomers. The flower children and all that. Clinton supposedly trying weed w/o inhaling only added to that aspect. The long shadow of everything related to the 60s cannot be overstated. The cons still have deep resentments over it. Even if they were born long after the 60s, LOL.
Being called the "first black President". The cons hated that so very much.
And so they sharpened their knives, perfected their fake news outlets, and went after him for most of the 90s, trying to bring him down, and failed. They only came up with a cum stain on a dress.
They had Clinton Derangement Syndrome for nearly all of that decade, and long after. Then Obama got elected, and their Obama Derangement far surpassed even the absurd levels of Clinton Derangement.
And now, these assholes have been trying to use Trump Derangement Syndrome as an actual thing after we watched them have complete derangement over absolute nothings for decades. The hubris and the projection, not to mention their absolute laziness over the term. FFS... 🤦♂️
Creatives almost always lean left, often far left. It's not just lazyness: they literally can't get anyone good to invent stuff for their whole... thing. That's why the campaign optics and merch are so basic, and why they keep using everyone's music without permission.
Point in case: "make america great again" was originally a slogan that was used during the 1980's. That in turn is a knock-off of (the modestly clever) "Make Britain Great Again" from the 1950's. "Lazy" doesn't even begin to describe all this.
