Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Vice signaling.

Fascists take pleasure in the suffering of others, and pat each other on the back for being as horrible of a human being as possible.

It's no coincidence that they react with glee whenever "41%" is brought up: They want you dead, and they won't be satisfied until every queer person is either killed or put into camps.

Sorry, I'm naive here, what's 41% about?

[–] ThatFembyWho@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The percentage of cops who beat their wives.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That's the self reported number. The actual percentage is probably significantly higher.

Remember when CPAC had a banner that said "We are all domestic terrorists"? This is why.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What happens to these people during the course of their lives to make them this terrible?

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 year ago

This is exactly what I want to know. I seriously don't want to believe that so many people are this stupid. I am unfortunately presented with strong evidence daily that there are millions of people who are, in fact, this fucking stupid.

I wonder if she was passed over by a man for some encounter for a trans female. Or maybe she had feelings for a lesbian, but was repressed or was denied by the other person.

Or maybe she was just always a mean girl who never grew the fuck up.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don’t get it. If the fascists win, she’ll be subjugated with everyone else. Does that bitch not get that?

[–] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 39 points 1 year ago

You're so wrong. She's obviously going to be considered one of the good ones and left alone.... /s

[–] rob64@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. Reminds of me of The Handmaid's Tale: Offred's commander's wife was a TV personality and a vocal proponent of more traditional roles for women, but at the time of the story it's obvious she's been hoisted on her own petard.

So. Check out the top comment.

Edited to include another screenshot showing how many degenerates support this crap.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Put this dumb asshole in prison.

[–] Nobody@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Stochastic terrorism. The victims should sue her for everything she has.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Both her and Elon should go to prison.
