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!

LOL, no you can't.
Anyway, long long ago I worked at a company where the owner-CEO had all this bullshit hero-worship going on around him and he wore these rather singular-looking shoes - they looked like shower shoes, except they weren't. All of a sudden, a bunch of his little mini-me's started wearing the exact same thing.
I just felt embarrassed for them - adult men, doing the same thing as their hero. The whole place was downright bizarre and cult-like.
This was during the dot-com bubble, so things were very tight, otherwise no way in hell would I have stuck around. But also: I was not going to be some monkey-see-monkey-do dumbass like these other guys. Turns out I got laid off anyway, but due that, I found a much better job.
Lol I remember reading the Guardians coverage on this and just laughing and shaking my head…so on brand for these clowns.
Ha funny story and thanks for sharing, but yah its a cult. People are operating with cult like traits and its just baffling. Do they really think they will come out better off once this shit show takes a different direction lol
