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 told my coworker today that there is no good trump supporter. They'll are either ignorant, selfish, or vile. The first group i dont blame because they're idiots, the other 2 groups can go fuck off to the void.
The scared, stupid, and selfish model. You don't have to be all three, but any one of them and Trump will take advantage of it to bring you over.
I am all three but I am still not a vile enough piece of shit to choose Donald.
You're missing the vile people. There are people looking forward to the next Civil war. Saddly my aunt is one so i know it must be more common then we all would hope.
That would be a combo of 2 and 3.
No it is not. People fucking wish for ww3 without benefitting from it. And theres the true nazis that just wanna kill people. Those do not jusy fit 2 and 3.
Idk I'd consider most "vile" people basically just selfish and stupid, nazis included.
People are stupid without being selfish/ vise versa, and people can be vile while being neither stupid nor selfish.
So whats your point?
"My point" is you're a fucking pedant prick.
Has no one one ever told you that the first one to start calling another names is the genuine dumb ass.
"What's your point?"
You're acting like being vile is not a cornerstone of supporting trump but a by product of it. And thats just not true, theres a reason trump is so vugal and nasty, hes been reaching out to the i fucking hate everything people and drawing them into his cult
Edit: his deleted reply
Think of how stupid the average trump supporter is, then remember that half of them are stupider than that.
Oh i know. That's why when i first commented, i said i dont blame the stupid, because they're idiot.
