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!

CouchFucker is directly tied into Thiel/Musk (Thiel dumped like 15mil into Vance's senate campaign), who all promote the Curtis Yarvin "dark enlightenment" ideology, which is as I already described, a movement to return the US to monarchy, and ultimately, multiple monarchies led by corporations. I know my words sound fucking nuts and like a conspiracy theory to people who aren't familiar with it... but the Blonde Politics video I referenced in the previous comment is my favorite presentation of a lot of this information.
While the title of her video can sound a bit conspiratorial, she does a great job of presenting to you actual clips of what they're saying without it being out of context. You hear THEM say that their plans are.. exactly multiple things I've said. It made me sick to my stomach the first time I watched it.
One of the things that the Conservative Propaganda Machine has done is take any semblance of credibility out of the word "conspiracy." As soon as a responsible person hears the word conspiracy, they start picturing tin foil hats, and stop listening.
But real conspiracies do happen all the time, and are happening now, and the Dark Side is camoflaging them by surrounding them with whack-job stuff to thow us off the scent.
The difference is Ctitical-Thinking Skills. Is the theory a bunch of unrelated stuff with imagined connections between them, or are they truly connected by evidence with sources? The first is a Theory, and second is a true conspiracy.
