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!

Noticed something similar this past memorial weekend. I went boating in a deeply red part of a very blue state and saw significantly less trump flags compared to last year.
People starting to realize how weird all this Trump obsession is. I have people that don't know shit about politics and barely graduated high school cheering for Trump like it's a fucking super bowl game. And these are stupid, stupid people with no education. It's weird for them to even be talking about politics or having political opinions, let alone be mainlining Fox News and talk radio for fucking twelve hours a day.
Ironic you put it that way since a lot of Trump's appeal is to people who are sick of elitists putting them down all the time
Yeah they are stupid. They are making decisions against their own interests because they're too proud to admit they don't know shit and to just butt out. Let the experts run things.
I went to visit family in New York about a month or two ago. I wouldn't say it was a "deep red" part of the state, but definitely pink at the very least.
We passed by a house that the owner had covered in Trump slogans in spray paint. Literally a two story home covered in Trump graffiti. And I've been told that since our trip he's added to it. Hey look, if you want to support Trump, you do you and all that. But I don't care what your political views are.....why the fuck would you destroy the value of your own home like that?
Random guess but that wouldn't happen to be Deep Creek Lake would it?
