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!

Note for Trump supporters, voting is not mandatory in the US, you didn't have to vote this year either.

[–] Etterra 45 points 3 months ago

Trump: You'll never have to worry about who to vote for again, once I'm crowned king! (Allegedly)

[–] breadsmasher 31 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Maybe he means they’re all going to be raptured. Again

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Hey man, the rapture did happen. It's just nobody made the cut.

[–] jordanlund 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That's a joke I've been making for years... the Rapture happened in 1988. The only worthy person was an elderly grandmother living in New Jersey and nobody else noticed.

Her grandson Dave would have if he'd bothered to call once in a while - Final earthly thought of Ethel Miller

[–] Omega_Man 2 points 3 months ago

Imagine being born after the rapture. Damn.

[–] Etterra 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh cool when's the end of the world happening this time?

  1. You missed it.

He IS the Chosen One after all, he would know right? /s

It's Christians voting for Trump and the ones that have their panties in a wad over trans and LGBTQ+. Remind me again why Democrats don't think taxing the churches is a good idea.

[–] linearchaos 25 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Neither side wants to tax the churches. If you piss off the churches, they'll tell their people who thay should vote for. The church has ultimate control of vast amounts of people in the U.S. conditioned to blindly believe whatever they tell them.

So in other words, nothing will be different?

[–] linearchaos 2 points 3 months ago

True. This already happens to some decent extent, but they're honestly afraid to weaponize it. There are lots of churches out there that aren't as deep right, but it's easy not to tax them and FAFO.

[–] Etterra 8 points 3 months ago

It's a condemnation of humanity really.

[–] CharlesDarwin 3 points 3 months ago

Thankfully, their power is shrinking daily.

[–] jordanlund 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Christians won't have to vote... the rest of us?

It won't be that pleasant.

"Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here.” He held up a cross necklace and continued: “After we burn that swamp to the ground, we will establish the new American republic on its ashes, and our first order of business will be righteous retribution for those who betrayed America.”

[–] CharlesDarwin 2 points 3 months ago

Well, since it is THESE assholes that betrayed America, will they be doing that retribution on themselves, then?

[–] Gingerlegs 12 points 3 months ago

Yea, they’ll all be dead. Have you seen the people at his rallies?

[–] CharlesDarwin 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, no shit.
