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!

He sounds more and more like that famous character with the famous mustache...
You mean Hitler? Trump is pretty similar in regards to amassing a strong base of followers since he is in touch with his supporters. It’s impressive actually how much of a movement he has created whether you like it or not. The hysteria around Trump on Lemmy and how much he lives in the lefts head and consistently gets free press around here is proof of that. Pretty lacking in similarity however in the mass murder of innocents and other terrible things Hitler is actually remembered for. Keep trying though!
How many Americans died to covid due to trump's pride and ignorance?? Considering the mustache man was actively trying and hamburder got somewhere from 100k to 1M I'd say the moniker Shitler is probably apt. Participation prize!! Keep trying tho!
Can you tell me how many? I would say 0 since pride and ignorance can’t kill anyone but a blockage of the lungs caused by a disease sure will!
What am I supposed to do with that comment? When you're trying to agitate people you can't show them you're arguing in bad faith.
My point is people dying of disease does not attribute blame to someone else, unless it is a targeted infecting by a bad actor. The disease is the killer. There is no bad faith here. I wish you well.
