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!

"trump supporters" and "meltdown" are redundant

Anger and cruelty is all they have to navigate their fragile emotional landscape. They are emotionally too uneducated to come up with anything different than hate. Or to use the words of a german punk rock band:

You're stupid as a pig

That's why you're feeling good

Hate is your attitude

Your blood is constantly boiling

Everything has to be explained to you

Because you really don't know anything

Most likely not even

What attitude means

Because you have problems that no one cares about

Because you're afraid of cuddling, you're a fascist

You don't have to project your self-hatred onto others

So that no one notices what a nice guy you are

Your violence is just a silent cry for love

Your combat boots long for tenderness

You never learned to articulate yourself

And your girlfriend, she never has time for you

Oh-oh-oh, asshole! Asshole! Asshole!

These are the heartwarming holiday stories that I usually only ever see in Lifetime/Hallmark movies.

I remember they were bashing Rage Against the Machine for being political too and someone said "What machine did you think they were raging against? The dishwasher?"

There are plenty of reasons to hate green day. This is hardly one of them.
