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!

This is the Find Out part.
I hope something of this nature happens to EVERYONE who voted for him. Genuinely. They richly deserve it. And they clearly need an object and personal lesson in the consequences of their own actions.
I see interview after interview with Maga voters who are being destroyed by Trump's policies and tariffs. Every one of them has said they still love Trump and would vote for him again, but they don't understand how he could hurt them when he's supposed to be hurting other people.
I genuinely laugh at every one of those interviews.
The dogmatism is infuriating. But the self-owning is fucking hilarious to me, and these days, I live in a state of gallows humor, so that’s some good shit.
I still cannot understand the mindset that brings someone to the polls just to hurt others. I guess I was raised differently...
20 years of Fox.
...coming up on 30 years if you can believe it. And even more years of hate radio with Rush and all his imitators all trying to outdo each other in awfulness.
But even with this platform; there has to be a mindset drawn to this. What the hell is wrong with people?
Trying 200+ years. This country was founded on "fuck you, got mine"
If only there was a way for people to find out what it means to vote for something before the fact
