Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

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.

That's all the rules!

I wonder when it will go to "honerery aryans" levels

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

What do you think upset these people so much?

They just don't get that their beliefs are what drive away potential mates. Also the debt pit having a kid puts you in, but that is about the same level as the posted picture.

One of those dudes in the pic methed out and the other has dedicated his life to undoing the damage his brief affair with extremist groups caused.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Link for the latter? Not that I don't believe you, it's just a good thing to know the details of.

Thank you. I'll unpaywall it later.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I found actually just clicking the x on the popup made the whole thing accessible for me

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Too much porn made them think ugly guys got laid 4 times a day.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What do you think Kash Patel is trying to become?

[–] Plum@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Legally immune from criminal prosecution.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago

He’s delusional if he thinks for a moment they won’t turn on him

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 82 points 2 months ago

Well, yeah. As long as they cheat, they'll never lose.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 63 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well, the last guy thought it’d be a thousand-year reich. So the fact the delusions are getting shorter shows a marked improvement in the narcissists’ mentality.

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 59 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I mean, the Whig party hasn’t lost an election in 100 years...

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I like you.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I think the Know Nothing party hasn't lost an election in almost 250 years....

[–] artyom@piefed.social 43 points 2 months ago

"What he says" = rig elections.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

They are openly dismantling democracy so that elections are theater and nothing more. They won’t lose an election because “elections” will be preordained.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

Didnt the trump family just pump and dump his base with a billion dollar crypto scam and a gold phone scam? Why would republicans want 100 years of more of being treated like chumps?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 29 points 2 months ago

The same reason they seem to be OK with the last year and a half of it, I guess - because they're fuckwits.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 2 points 2 months ago

I mean MAGA women are horny for trump and the husbands go along with it

[–] TefikiMupu@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Because it is a cult. People have killed themselves over more ridiculous beliefs.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Even as they gripe about terrible GOP behavior, they usually say "but at least they aren't Democrats".

[–] Throbbing_banjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Apply this reasoning to capitalism as a whole, and an interesting thing occurs.

[–] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

IIUC, in the past 100 years, several Democrats have won the Presidency without mail-in ballots.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

“But if we terminate the filibuster as we should do and immediately vote for the SAVE America Act, then we will not lose an election for 100 years.”

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

IF they are foolish, stupid or unwise?

ETA: Apart from anything else, those are all pretty much synonyms and therefore redundant. He could have just said 'stupid' and carried the same point. He's one of those guys that reveals how stupid he is when he tries to sound smart.

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Jetzt Reichts.

[–] voidsignal@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

either way, they're gonna lose all of them
