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!

The question is, how much time until they realize it and how more time until they admit it.

[–] lemmydripzdotz456 87 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Neither of these are going to happen.

They're already denying he ever promised to bring grocery prices down.

[–] BrokenGlepnir 38 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The real Trump Derangement Syndrome is the people defending him no matter what.

[–] Clent 9 points 4 days ago

Always has been. The phrase was projection.

[–] AbidanYre 13 points 4 days ago

Nobody had even heard the word groceries before he started talking about it.

They will never realize it as long as they have Others to blame for it instead.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

'blame someone else' has always been a part of the propaganda controlling them. its core to getting them to vote against their own best interests. it will always be someone elses fault

[–] thesohoriots 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It’s the aliens from Mexico! No, wait, Canada! No, wait, the drones in New Jersey! No, wait…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Since it's all of those, they'll deal with it by oppressing trans people.

[–] partial_accumen 12 points 4 days ago

Never, they'll blame it on the opposition somehow.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It takes sustained “reality doesn’t not match internal model” for anything to happen. I’ll give them ten years for them to start saying “maybe I was wrong”. People are very very good at ignoring something they don’t want to see. Citation: global warming.

We got ourselves an optimist here! I sincerity hope you're right. But 40 years on and they still worship terrorists like Reagan. Call me sufficiently jaded. But I would love to be surprised.

[–] WhatYouNeed 5 points 4 days ago

Sinclair media group will keep broadcasting to them that doofus drump needs more time to make it work. And they'll eat it up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Trumpers blame Obama for things during, and after, the Trump administration... still.

[–] kmartburrito 4 points 4 days ago

At least they will be feeling the real consequences, regardless of their blindness to the cause, which was their own actions.

[–] IphtashuFitz 4 points 4 days ago

Exactly. As long as Trump frames his lies properly to blame the left, liberals, Democrats, etc. they’ll believe and continue to follow him without question.
