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!

Honestly, I am too.
I fully expected it, but not this soon.
Looking forward to more though. Every one of these is just more votes against Trump.
My hope is not to change them. But it is to change their children. Or those adjacent. If we keep trying to change them, we will never win.
We'll never change the base. Their investment in Trump and conservatism is more akin to religious faith than ideology, and just as with religion, to question it would be to undermine the basis for their (clearly unjustified) conviction that they're decent and moral.
I don't think we really need to worry about changing their children either. Their children are already changing, which is an awful lot of the reason for their egregiously anti-democracy panic. They recognize at some level that the tide of history is turning against them, and they can't stand it. They think they can stop that process through force and fraud, and don't seem to understand that all they can do that way is maybe postpone it a bit, or that bybtrying to save their justly dying ideology that way, they ensure that a day of reckoning will come - that they'll go down in history as not just an abandoned ideology, but a justly condemned one.
