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!

On the plus side, this format builds in something resembling paragraph breaks where you might otherwise get a solid wall of text. Might not be an issue for this guy without post length limit enforcement but I've seen many where it would help.
So Republicans have ODD?
"One group the law protects but does not bind, and one group the law binds but does not protect." aka "rules for thee, none for me" aka "I dictate, you obey" categorises people into hierarchy of ubermensch (the group the law protects but does not bind) and untermensch (one group the law binds but does not protect).
That's fascism, not ODD.. Reoublicans are not mentally ill, they're fascist.
ETA https://www.britannica.com/topic/fascism/Intellectual-origins . the entire article is a good read.
Oh no, you said the fascism word. That’s why the news has a messaging problem. Because, to call that out would mean one of the two parties has failed. And the whole system crumbles. Get out of here with your third party, this is a democracy.
You can have a democracy while having more than two parties. You just need a way of counting votes that isn't first-past-the-post.
