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!

Isnt that around the same time black people were not allowed to do uuhhh well anything? Bit weird
Better yet:
SOMEONE QUICK RETURN THIS MAN TO HIS OWNER.
See? Ya sound like a fuckin dick when ya say shit like that.
You’re incorrectly assuming logic and reason are in play. They are not.
Yeah, I wonder how he'd feel about walking it back further, to a time when black men also could not vote. Or maybe to a time when all blacks in this country were considered farm equipment. He sure likes to talk about how various groups of people should "know their place".
No, no, you see he has to be at the top so he can pull the ladder up behind him. That’s the whole point of being a Republican! You can’t make him go back to him being at the bottom with the poors and the women and, God forbid, the gays!
Haha “the gays” the gays did it!!
Of course the gays did it. Their rainbows are a source of immense power - it can turn frogs gay, your children trans, make your wife leave you for another woman, and most cruelly force decent, heterosexual men to have sex with each other (no homo).
The greatest threat they pose is if we let them marry, becoming a sort of gay Voltron. Also unisex bathrooms are right out because we need to make sure that anyone holding their penis in their hand is in the same room together at the same time. That's super straight, just like highschool wrestling.
What do you mean, I'm sure the 1920s were great for them! Oh wait maybe not
Maybe he was thinking of before that ... Yeah no I don't know, maybe he's thinking of a different "America?" Maybe South America has better history around then with regard to equality and peace in general. I'll, uh, leave that as an exercise to the reader 😅
