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!

Seeing that thumbnail for the first time had me thinking "Who's the B movie token Russian guy?"
Trump is a F A G G O T. Seriously. In the old English sense. He is a chore, and a burden that will never be worth the effort expelled. That's all you have to say. put it in stickers, say it in casual conversation, then explain that it has nothing to do with sexuality.
Definition: Offensive. a contemptible or dislikable person.
Trump, and his supporters are F A G G O T S. And traitors. Seriously, use it. I was at a family gathering with several known MAGAts the other day, they asked what I thought about Trump so far. Just simply stated that "I'm not down with any form of F A G G O T R Y, especially his kind. Why, are you?"
If they even respond, just press them on exactly what has gotten better for them PERSONALLY, since Trump got elected. Odds are, fucking nothing. Gas prices? Up. Egg prices? Up. 401k? Down. How's your union/trade job? Not looking nearly as well as last year. But your healthcare got better, right? And the value of your precious home that you paid to have built in the 90's for 100k on a half acre lot that cost 5k, was worth 1m last year. What's the zestimate today?
Hows your retirement going? You aren't going to miss those social security payments? How's your 401k doing, huh?
I think I fucking broke them to their core. The entire premise offered by Trump is that the 'right' kind of people would benefit. But fucking NO ONE IN AMERICA WHO WORKS FOR A LIVING HAS BENEFITED. Then I pressed on how they thought tariffs would help them (two retired old guys, 2 guys my age that did union work and factory type work). You guys gonna have layoffs because the price of the things you rely on to do your job are about to go up considerably?
I'm not trying to offend people, and I'm not trying to get banned or test the rules of Lemmy, but you have to understand American male mentality. The men that act the toughest and most aggressive, do so out of fear of ritucule for not being 'man' enough, and Trump is the epitomy of that mentality.
That is the failure of left wing politics, they want to be inclusive and respectful of everyone... But sometimes to defeat your enemy, you must do something that upsets an ally. A wise ally understands that, and allows it to happen for the greater good.
I don't believe in state performed executions. But I also realize that when treason has been committed to this extent, the only options are state sponsored execution, or mob justice, and the former is much more likely to prevent wide spread violence.
You can also just call them Pope killing, child raping, F A G S
*Please see earlier comment in this thread discussing the rampant male fragility among MAGAts, and how to best combat it
Democrats have become so right wing they're finally allowed to do name calling.
