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!

Thanks
Anyone downvoting the OP here is being ridiculous. Faithfully posting the article's headline does not mean OP agrees with said headline.
Posting ridiculous “opinion pieces” is nothing more than spreading stupid propaganda. So yeah, OP deserves to be downvoted.
If you think you can do better, then I encourage you to post. All news is propaganda. Source: My journalism degree and career in news and public relations.
Read Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky & Edward Herman.
I’m so tired of fools like you pretending that they understand a single thing about reality.
Just please go troll somewhere else.
Explain reality to me.
I know better than to waste my time explaining things to brainwashed fools.
Walking Dunning Kruger Effect.
While I understand the urge to immediately use newly learned terms, this doesn’t apply here for multiple obvious reasons, the main one being that we’re talking about the entire reality.
I would go back to the dictionary and practice this term a little more, if I were you (although we both know you learned it from another idiot on social media who was using it incorrectly too as a lame attempt at a comeback).
So your reality is solely dependent on how others define words. Sounds like a Depersonalization-derealization disorder. Combined with Dunning-Kruger, you must be a lot of fun at parties 🎉 . 70% of Americans identify as Christian. That is a single fact of reality.
Huh? That genuinely makes exactly 0 sense. I corrected your use of a term so you double down and make an even bigger fool out of yourself? What’s going on in that head of yours?
Yeah most christians are not christofascists. The people you’re talking about are not rhe average christian, your article is about fascist cultists who would spit on christ himself if he were to come down to earth and remind them what christian values actually demand. With every new comment, you dig an even deeper hole for yourself. I highly suggest you just cut your loses and go troll somewhere else.
Yeah. After you explained your reality it just clicked , ya know? It just makes sense. I’m the problem. I use words I don’t know and talk about ideas that have no bases in reality. I get it now. I’ll stop asking questions and seeking knowledge and the truth. Some random person on the internet has figured it out. It’s so obvious now. Don’t question reality or any authority structure. I feel so much better now. Thanks.
I wish you had the ability to hear yourself through the perspective of anyone who doesn’t have a room temperature IQ. It’s so painful.
It saddens me that the internet gives us the ability to learn so much about ourselves, and this is how you spend your time using it.
Shutting down false propaganda isn’t the worst way to spend 10 minutes.
My source: just trust me, bro.
Ouch, I got a paper cut from how edgy you are. Please don’t trust me. Research it yourself. News is filtered from the state Department PR to news wires. Then disseminated to news organizations. I’ve seen Producers and Editors change headlines and copy to better fit a narrative and not get flak from corporate. Watch this and tell me I’m lying 🤥
Ah yes, all news comes from the state department. Every single bit. Did they send you your tinfoil hat too? You're an absolute conspiracy theorist trying to pass yourself off as anything knowledgeable.
Edit: prove yourself. Doxx yourself and show us your credentials. Otherwise you're just another dipshit trying to frame ALL news as propaganda.
I didn’t mean to imply that all news is from the state department. All government departments have Public Relations. For whom? The CIA. The State Dept.. This is how it works .
Maybe a trusted news source can explain it better than me.
Source: the crack pipe I just smoked!
Trusted news source is a random user on medium where literally anyone can post? Lol. Again, if you have credentials to back up your knowledge, show us.
And Noam Chomsky? Does his opinion not matter? I’m nobody. I’m just a monkey with internet who can read. Even if you don’t think what I said is 💯. The fact that it may be true is worth considering.
So you're unwilling to back up your initial claim to knowledge that you based everything upon? Got it.
This isn’t about me.
